After 4 days without Birding!

What a beautiful day for enjoying the countryside. Not a perticularly early start, 8 a.m , still recovering from falls, much travel etc. Sculthorpe mill didn't let us down but, it required patience before our first Spotted Flycatcher of the year perched on a wire.
Breakfast at Abbey Farm, watching a Kingfisher perched below the nesting hole, little else.
An hour before high tide at Snettisham when we checked the timetable, probably worth a look. The usual multitude of Shelduck and Oystercatchers with a small flock of Knot, only a few in breeding red. Non breeders? Half a dozen scampering Sanderling, a few Ringed Plover and two winter plumaged Black-tailed Godwit bumped up the day list.
Brancaster Staithe was packed with boats, boaters and parked oldies (like us). I love the place.

A single Little Tern cruised by. Quick snaps through the open window resulted in reasonavble photos despite the camera still being set to close-ups of moths! Why can't they learn to fly the right way of the sun........

A pager message re a Spoonbill at Burnham Overy west of Holkham woods, came through as we approached said area. The Spoonbill flew for a short distance as we scanned. Jammy.
This most enjoyable day brought our Norfolk month list to about 81.
