A morning out with Norman: Slavonian Grebe but no Dipper!

I've been feeling a bit ropey recently, so only committed to half a day out. Picking Norman up at 07.15, we headed north-west to Bintree, where a good walk up and down gave us Great White and Little Egrets, but no sign of the Dipper...

We carried on to the coast, walking out towards the sea at Titchwell, stopping to enjoy reasonable views of a Slavonian Grebe and female Scaup on the Tidal Pool. With various detours for roadworks, the drive eastward to Cley got us to the Visitor Centre well past 'cheese scone o'clock': the centre was packed (Half Term!) but the cold wind kept the paths free! We trudged towards Babcock Hide (seeing a Raven over the Hangs) before finding a confiding group of twenty or so Russian White-fronted Geese. And so home!
