The 'Summer Wine Crew' headed north through the early morning tractor traffic, arriving at Cley at around 8.00am. Visits to the Coastguards, middle hides and Bishop's were pretty unproductive: just a pair of Little Ringed Plovers and some Bearded Tits. After coffee we headed inland to a traditional site for Turtle Doves where, after a false start, heard two birds purring deep in cover with a third right by the road in full view! A Woodlark collecting grasshoppers was good to see, but only Norman managed a Dartford Warbler.
On the way home we stopped at Hickling in hope of a Swallowtail, but it had grown quite cool and there were no butterflies of any sort on the wing. We did see lots of Chiffchaffs, a Cuckoo and a couple of distant drake Garganey.
