Migrant foray

We had a couple of hours spare. The threatened overnight rain hadn't appeared, it was our fourth lovely warm, sunny morning, 16C yesterday.
First stop Felbrigg, no sign of any Sand Martins nor the Chiffchaff reported by another birder. Salthouse car park. I binned the area and mound and thought I'd seen a possibility flying near the top. Quickly setting up my scope, we were rewarded by views of two lovely male Wheatears. Nothing in ten minutes at Cley Beach, we returned to Salthouse for another view and a cuppa from the van before driving home for lunch.
As I sat at my PC with the sun lounge doors open, a Chiffchaff sang twice but not again - Pam didn't hear it. Not happy......
