Shopping and Pinks

Tuesday November 16
After taking Rai and Barbara to the station, Pam decided that she wanted to go to Lathams to get some more fertiliser for the garden. Such a lovely day after a clear, frosty night, it was a pleasure to enjoy the countryside - Potter Heigham via Winterton is definitely going the 'pretty way'.
Nearing Horsey, there was a partly harvested sugar beet field with about 5,000 feeding Pinkfeet, others flighting in to join them. . The sun was totally wrong for pics as was the field containing 500+ Golden Plover.
Flat calm and birdlesss at Winterton, we didn't stay long.
It was mid afternoon by the time we left Lathams, deciding to return via Horsey again. The Pinks were my side of the road this time.  Despite the fast sinking, low and hazy winter sun, I took some photographs.

The sun on its breast, it honks its way in
Good light for these

There were four Ruff feeding amongst the geese
