With our intended trip to Minsmere rained off and no news on the Booted, Norman, Brian & I headed to our default location: Bishop's Hide at Cley. A glance across the reserve from the beach revealed three Cattle Egrets: we eventually saw all three species during the day. It was interesting to witness a Red Kite swoop down and pluck a juvenile Lapwing (?) from an island - never seen this before!
A move to the centre hides added a trio of Spoonbills (including a 'Teaspoon'!) and a distant Greenshank. After a chat with Jacqui B, David and their Crew, we adjourned for hot drinks at the VC before heading westwards.
We arrived at Titchwell just ahead of the rain, adding Bearded Tit and Great Egret to the daylist before retreating back to the Yare Valley...
