Despite a persistent drizzle, Norman, Brian and I headed north west to Titchwell. On arrival we were informed that one of our targets - a Hoopoe - had just flown, so we walked out towards Parrinder Hide, quickly locating a large flock of Golden Plover. Another birder had already found the long-staying juvenile American Golden Plover, and we all filled up at close range. Carrying on to the sea, I found a distant Scaup and a Guillemot, but with little else, we turned back to the Fen Trail. After a bit of persistence we eventually found a tit flock holding at least two Firecrests: these weren't in the mood to be photographed, however!
Back to Cley for coffee and a walk out to Bishop's, where we added Water Pipit to the daylist, before the pager sent us hurtling east to West Runton for distant - and fleeting - views of a Pallid Swift.
