Black Redstart and Iceland Gull at Cley - but no Waxwing

I think Brian and I both suspected that waiting for a sunny day might have meant missing the long-staying Waxwing that has graced Sue and Steve Gantlett's garden: and so it proved! Nevertheless, we enjoyed our morning at Cley, walking over six miles and adding a number of year ticks to the list.

Best of these was certainly the cute female / 1w male Black Redstart that flitted from roof to roof along Anterton Road, but a flock of thirteen Snow Buntings and the ever-present Iceland Gull were also most welcome.

Last notable birds were totally unexpected: a group of half a dozen Bearded Tits by the East Bank.
