Waxwings, Twite, Snow Buntings and Cattle Egrets: all in a morning!

The 'gang of three' headed north to Wiveton in hope of connecting with a reasonable flock of Waxwings that have been present for a few days around the village green/ Although they never came very close, we enjoyed meeting up with these delightful birds that sort of herald in Christmas! 

A move to Cley and a walk out to the back of Arnold's Marsh added a flock of 40+ Snow Buntings to the day's tally, wqhile the Brackish Pool held a good number of Pintails.

After coffee and cheese scones we drove the short distance to Blakeney for a stroll out to the famous 5-bar gate on the Freshes. On cue a flock of 15 or so delightful Twite perched on the wire fence, occasionaly dropping onto the path for a splash around. To the east, almost every cow on the grazing marsh had its own Cattle Egret!
