A funny old day: with the noon temperature at nineteen, today was like a pleasant day in June! We started off at Titchwell with a seawatch: lots of Red-throated Divers and Great Crested Grebes, but among these were two Black-throated Divers - Dave Holman was kind enough to let me look at them through his 'scope. Plenty of waders roosting on the beach: Godwits, Knot, Dunlin, Sanderlings being the most abundant. The only other birds of note were one of the regular Water Rails in the ditch and my first singing Chiffchaff of the year.
The drive eastwards to Kelling added Great White Egret to the daylist (on the grazing marsh at Holkham) as well as a couple of dozen Buzzards.
A good walk around Kelling Heath eventually produced distant views of a few Stonechats, which - sure enough - were accompanied by a Dartford Warbler...
