A bright - but chilly - morning at Cley and Kelling Heath gave us great views of some large flocks of waders: 100+ Golden Plover, Avocets and Black-tailed Godwits as well as good numbers of Dunlin and Ruff. At least five Marsh Harriers continually flushed the lot, but they resettled until a tractor came along and sent them all off to the North Scrape. The walk back to the VC for coffee gave us decent views of a male Stonechat and - apparently unusual - a Moorhen.
Kelling Heath was unexpectedly crowded with birders, but we managed to glimpse at least six Dartford Warblers, as well as more Stonechats and a few Linnets. Just as we were leaving I managed a few quick shots of a male Dartford, only one of which showed its head! Also on the Heath was this incredible fungus...
