With nothing much new on the North Coast, Norman, Brian and I decided to brave the A47 / A11 and their horrendous roadworks to look for some Breckland specialties' and a possible year tick.
First stop was Lynford Arboretum: no Hawfinches, but at least three flocks of Crossbills, with back up from a confiding Goldcrest, Siskins and Redwings. We drove south east to Lackford, where despite two hours searching through a large number of Eurasian Teal, there was no sign of the long-staying Green-winged Teal: lots of Snipe and a Barnacle Goose weren't much consolation. Still: an enjoyable day out in great company.
