Garganeys, Dartfords and a Spotshank!

A sunny but cool day out for Brian, Norman and me began in Bishop's Hide at Cley. Still plenty of Avocets and Black-tailed Godwits, as well as a Ruff and a fly-through pair of Spoonbills, but nothing to set the pulses racing. A typically skulking Cetti's Warbler was good to see.

After coffee we moved to a nearby heath, where a walk around gave us views of Dartford Warbler: this being nesting season, we didn't hang around for 'better photos'. Lots of Linnets and a gorgeous Yellowhammer were welcome additions to the day's list.

Final stop was Hickling, where Brian and Norman finally connected with Garganey: two drakes and a duck. A spotted Redshank was a new bird for the year, and a Crane flew over the visitor centre as we left!
