Norfolk

WheatearWeather system looked very promising for eastern migrants, so a last minute decision was to go to Norfolk for the afternoon with Michelle. Started by dipping a Barred Warbler at Burnham Ovary, and apart from lots of Wheatears (mostly Greenland?)and a couple of Whinchats, there were very few migrants around. After dropping Michelle at Holt I then had a bash around Salthouse. Three Hobbys when I arrived, but still no migrant passerines. A short sea-watch did however produce two Balearic Shearwaters.

Then onto Cley, which was equally quiet so decided to collect Michelle and sit and have a couple of beers and something to eat at Salthouse instead.
