Cley 24/08/2016

Ok, what better place to start my blogs than Cley and Titchwell on the North Norfolk coast, true premier league reserves.

We'll  start with Cley on 24/8/2016

 
 
It started out sunny but a mist crept in from the sea. Out on the reserve there was the usual mixture of migrant waders and eclipse ducks present on the drying up scrapes. Best sighting was a decent 25 CURLEW SANDPIPERS the largest flock I've seen in the UK. Good numbers of RUFF and GODWITS were feeding in the mud, with a spattering of AVOCET. Also present was an adult YELLOW LEGGED GULL.
On the way to Babcock hide there were 2 WHINCHAT, but not much at the hide.
Out at sea GANNETS were flying on the horizon with some terns flying closer into land.
