Despite the heavy frost and icy roads, Brian, Norman and I headed to Rollesby to see if we could connect with yesterday's four redhead Smews. When we arrived at 'The Waterside', the gates were still locked: fortunately a super-kind lady was just arriving - she unlocked and directed us to the small bird hide. As well as the four smart little sawbills, we enjoyed both Little and Great White Egrets: amazing to see Arctic and Mediterranean species side by side!
We moved on to Hickling, where a complete circuit (including a visit to Stubb Mill ) added two more Great White Egrets, Merlin, Hen Harrier and a couple of Cranes... Last stop was St Benet's: no geese, but 20 or so Bewick's.
