Year ticks for the 'Summer Wine Crew' - but not the ones you think!

A long session divided between Cley and Holkham Park gave all three of us some much-needed exercise and a couple of year ticks: Spoonbills at both locations (nesting at Holkham!) and feeding close by at Cley. Arguably our 'best' bird was the adult drake Ferruginous Duck on the Hall lake at Holkham - we had to wait half an hour for it to wake up! Returning to Cley we saw a couple of good-looking Ruff and a very distant Little Ringed Plover.
