Ouzels galore and a Blue-headed Wagtail.

A terrific day out with Martin on an unexpectedly sunny North Coast. First stop was Kelling Water Meadows: Martin was keen to see the Yellow Wagtails and we soon found twelve of them. Even better, there was at least one Blue-headed Wagtail among them!

A move to Cley failed to produce the Gropper which had been performing earlier, although a Cetti's Warbler was almost showy!

After coffee and scones on the new patio, we decided to move inland to look for Mandarins at Felbrigg. Amazingly, we found a very confiding pair which drifted out from under the bushes into full sunlight!

Even better, we suddenly found ourselves looking at twelve Ring Ouzels! Although they never came very close, they were a spectacular sight. Walking back to the van we added Barn Owl (a really pale one!) and an obliging Chiffchaff to the tally.
