Little Auks!

Brilliant day on the East coast with several Little Auk heading North sea watching from Hartlepool. Other highlights were a close by Little Auk in the bay which was too quick for my camera and lots of Purple Sandpiper. We then headed to Scarborough where there were several Little Auk in the harbour and a couple of Black necked grebe

Norfolk Rarities

An amazing day in Norfolk yesterday. Red-flanked Bluetail , Isabeline probable Daurian Shrike in Holkham Pines plus 3 Firecrest and hundreds of Goldcrest. Blyth's Reed Warbler in Well's Wood and Olive-backed Pipit on Muckleburgh Hill. Three lifers on a single day hasn't happened since our Cornwall trip. Brilliant!
