The 'Summer Wine Crew' were back together for a day out on the North Coast. First stop was a well-known landmark, where a handsome pair of Ravens are feeding a well-grown juvenile: how wonderful to see these magnificent corvids back on the Norfolk breeders list!
Further along the coast at Titchwell we 'enjoyed' distant views of Short-eared Owl and Temminck's Stint through the heat haze, while Little Ringed Plover and Ruff were lots more obliging. Grasshopper & Cetti's Warbler were briefly on show and one of several beautiful male Marsh Harriers soared overhead.
The drive back east was rewarded with Red Kite, more Marshies and a sudden flush of Swallows: more of these - as well as Sand Martins - were hunting over our last stop, Kelling Water Meadows. Our target bird here was the reported Glossy Ibis, which we found without trouble: other notables included Whitethroat, Stonechat and Grey Partridge.
