October's End

Thursday October 28
After a week of rain and enforced leg rest, I was pleased to spend an hour at Cley watching Pat's Pool. The American Golden Plover - not even a month tick - had left,  but the Green-winged Teal was on view briefly before disappearing behind an island. To rest I assume as it didn't re-appear.
Friday October 29
With the G Y Waxwings as the final destination, we went the pretty way, via Sea Palling and Winterton. A single Red-throated Diver flying by. Patience short as it's still half term, no parking places and hordes of children and dogs everywhere. Good that they're out and about I suppose - but not where I am ! Grouch......
Several adult Med Gulls on the beach behind the Sealife Centre, oblivious to the throng of people strolling by.
Crossing Haven Bridge, we saw a flock of Waxwings hurtling about, turned at the roundabout and drove into the estate near Tesco. From here, we could see the flock still flying restlessly about. No sign of them settling so we drove home.
BVD.
