Birding with Sue

What a dreadful day to go birding. It rained solidly until early afternoon. We aborted our plan to walk to Gore Point at Holme and went to Snettisham so that we could bird from the car. High tide! Very few birds within binocular view.Another road closure, unknown to us beforehand, had to drive to Thornham via Ringstead, coast road out of Hunstanton closed. Nothing at Thornham.......
We decided to walk at Titchwell, whatever, as the rain had eased. We picked up a male Ruddy Duck and two Ruff from Island Hide. As we walked back, a Bittern flew from the west, across the bank in front of us towards Fen Hide. Long and good views. A small flock of Twite in the same area. Seven Corn Buntings and about eight handsome Yellowhammers at Choseley and then a Rock Pipit at Brancaster Staithe.
The Snow Goose was still showing at Holkham, a Black Brant on the putting greens and the pair of Scaup on Abrahams Bosom at Wells before having to cut inland again.That road closure is due to last a month.
