The move to Gramborough Hill added Gannet, Wheatear, Mipit and - distantly - an elusive Lapland Bunting to the daylist. A certain well-known (notorious?) local patcher seemed to delight in disseminating duff gen, but we ignored him and moved on to Walsey Hills. No sign of the reported Swifts or Yellow-browed, but a Hobby was good to see.
We headed west towards the better weather, making our next stop at Burnham Norton. The cattle were much closer to the path today, but unfortunately the Cattle Egrets weren't with them! We made it back to the car just before the rain started in earnest. On to Titchwell, firstly for lunch, then to look for Little Stints. We managed to find two eventually, but they were always somewhat distant (as was the second Wheatear of the day)
A Water Rail delighted the largish crowd in Island Hide and a very distant Hobby occasionally spooked the waders - but not the usual group of Spoonbills!
