Red-throated Diver at Buckenham

Having failed to find this long-staying individual on a couple of occasions, I thought I'd give it another bash this afternoon. After an enjoyable walk from the station nearly as far as the Beauchamp Arms, I came across local birder Murray, who was obviously 'on' the bird. Sure enough this somewhat drab specimen was basking in the sunlight under the far bank of the Yare. Almost as unexpected - and unseasonal - were two Pink-footed Geese...

Other birds included Lesser Whitethroat, Cetti's Warbler, Red Kite and an almost certain Honey Buzzard as I was driving home through Brundall.
