A run along the North Coast from Titchwell back to Cley was not particularly fruitful - certainly there were no passerines to chase - but there were a few odds and ends worth pointing a camera at!
The various pools at Titchwell held lots of Golden Plover, Ruff and Godwits, as well as a few Snipe, Grey Plovers and Dunlin. A half-hour seawatch added the expected waders, as well as a chunky diver which was 'i/d-d by consensus' as Black-throated before being confirmed when a friendly birder let me look through his 'scope!
A stop at Burnham Norton revealed an apparent Snow Goose flying in (distantly!) with Brents, while flocks of Pinkfeet passed over continuously.
Cley was not as productive as we'd hoped: no calidrids on the Serpentine, nor anything much else! However, the sight of a USAF 'Osprey' was unusual, while the sea off the end of the East Bank held half a dozen Red-throated Divers, one or two in pretty sharp plumage still.
