With yesterday’s Albatross seemingly hanging around the Wash, and with Holme being the nearest decent spot to bird on the Norfolk coast, I headed there for the day.
Fairly quiet, as was most of the coast. Highlight was thousands of Starlings (no idea how many thousand? five?) and a male Ring Ouzel that I managed to find. Unfortunately it was on the public footpath so didn’t linger for long before being flushed. Managed to get a quick shot of it before it flew, never to be seen again. The only other bird of note was, like yesterday, a Rock Pipit.
