Despite the gloomy weather forecast, Brian picked me up at 7.15 for a run up to Cley. The walk out to the centre hides gave us the expected warblers and a few Bearded Tits, but from Dauke's there wasn't much to see: just a few Avocets and Godwits, before a group of four Common Sandpipers and a Little Ringed Plover dropped in. Then, unexpectedly, a Common Redstart suddenly appeared on the fence to the left of the hide: I managed two fuzzy shots before it disappeared! We were just thinking of going to search for it when the pager alerted us that two Temminck's were visible from Bishop's Hide, necessitating a quick trot round through the drizzle! On arrival the only people in the hide were Sue & Steve Gantlett, who kindly pointed out the birds (which they had refound!) Coffee and Spoonbills before we moved on to Hickling...
