North Coast : Divers, Lapland Bunting and Twite

Linda, Sue, Peter and I had arranged to visit the Felbrigg Christmas light show: this didn't start until 3.00pm, so we spent the morning on the North Coast, starting at Blakeney Freshmarsh. The walk out to the 'usual spot' was enlivened by a good raft of Mergansers, most of the expected waders and a flock of Twite, while, to Peter and Sue's delight, the fence by the metal gate held Stonechat and Lapland Bunting. The Wildfowl Collection by the carpark was, as always, a delight, with a terrific pair of Hooded Mergansers being the highlight.

After lunch at Cley VC, we spent an hour at the Coastguards, where seawatching revealed the presence of numerous divers, including a single Black-throated Diver. The Eye Field was pretty barren, apart from a vast flock of Brent Geese. After a quick walk along Sheringham seafront, we headed inland to Felbrigg: more later!
