Norman and I had a day free, so headed north in search of some of the recent passerine migrants. We started with a seawatch at the coastguards, which gave us just several groups of newly-arrived Brents streaming westwards but little else. A move to Walsey Hills provided close views of some more Ivy Bees and lots of butterflies: only a brief glimpse of a Yellow-browed Warbler, though.
Coffee, then the East Bank, where we heard several parties of Bearded Tits, but saw little to get the pulses racing. Salthouse next, where the morning's Bluethroat was no longer available: we decided to drive home via Hickling, where once again things were a bit quiet: distant Cranes, Hobbies and Great Egrets, but nothing much to point the new camera at....
