Sandpiper day at Cley!

As usual (with nothing new to chase!) Brian, Norman and I headed north for a morning's birding. First stop was Salthouse, where the walk out to Gramborough Hill was more or less fruitless - just a few juvenile Stonechats.

We moved to Cley, starting at Bishop's with distant views of two Little Stints before carrying on to the Central Hides. Here we were rewarded with close views of Green and Common Sandpipers as well as several family groups of Little Ringed Plovers.

After coffee and scones we walked the East Bank, adding five distant Spoonbills on Pope's and two Wood Sandpipers on the Serpentine: a distant Red Kite was the only one of the day.

Walking back to the car we stopped at Snipe's Masrsh, where four more Green Sandpipers fed busily among the Mare's Tail.
