What a fabulous day out! No Bluetail or Arctic Warbler, but just terrific birding in great company....
Thrushes were moving through Stiffkey all morning: thousands of Redwings, Fieldfares, Song Thrushes and continental Blackbirds, as well as 30+ Ring Ouzels and a stunning richly-coloured Black Redstart. Also encountered was this 'interesting Bunting': helpful comments welcome!
Moving on to Cley produced Gannets and Kittiwakes close inshore, as well as a somewhat-distant Red-necked Grebe. Lots more thrushes and a group of Brents including a pale-belied example.
Last stop was Walsey Hills: frustrating glimpses of a Firecrest and lots of crests & Willow-Chiffs.
