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!

Three new species on a day!

Incredible day on the East coast yesterday. Daurian  (Isabelline) Shrike  Flamborough and a flock of 40-50 Twite. Siberian Stonechat at Scalby Mills. Finally up to Hartlepool for the Western Bonelli's Warbler. Bonus of the day was a Pallid Swift that was spotted by birders viewing the warbler and gave good views as it circled overhead. Or so we thought! Now been identified as a juvenile Common Swift. Aaargh!! Several Blackcap and Goldcrest were also seen feeding with the warbler.
