@djlbirding.bsky.socialWho knows what this Grey-headed Swamphen's origin story is, but nevertheless, certainly a charismatic bird in entertaining circumstances and at an intriguing location. So many questions! Worth the little detour off patch to Great Yarmouth docks. #NorfolkBirding
@markgolley.bsky.socialMorning mooch around the back before a quick look at the reserve. Water Pipit the pick of the passerines on the marsh + a single Red Knot amongst 78 Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits. A few thrushes over & flocks of Chaffinches, Linnets & Skylarks all heading off westwards.

@stevefitz.bsky.socialAt least a couple of hundred Redwings flying south over the garden this morning. A few came down to rest in my apple tree, obviously a bit out of puff after spending the night flying across the North Sea #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@stevefitz.bsky.socialWatching the incoming Redwings this morning, I was quite surprised to see this squadron of Spoonbills come over. Only the second time I've ever seen any over my garden here on the outskirts of Kings Lynn #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@stevefitz.bsky.socialFirst big flocks of Redwings coming in over the garden this morning #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@suffolkseawatcher.bsky.socialJust chilled out at Titchwell earlier. Like a chiller.

@markgolley.bsky.socialEntertaining seawatch as the wind hit NW off Coastguards this PM. For a while it was quite lively, bu tailed off post 1630. Sooty Shears are always smart, one reasonably close, ditto some Manx. Best, the ranks of Brents passing by. Welcome home 🙂

@stevefitz.bsky.socialMistle Thrush at Roydon Common this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@suffolkseawatcher.bsky.socialQuick one, if anyone is birding North Norfolk tomorrow and Thursday - there is not going to be a massive party at Deepdale backpackers. Do not bring booze and that.

@suffolkseawatcher.bsky.socialSnow Bunting from our walk up Thornham point this morning. Exquisite wee beaut 👌

@suffolkseawatcher.bsky.socialJuvenile Little Gull on the beach off Titchwell yesterday. Class plumage I don't recall seeing before. Also had an adult fly past...

The Eastern Yellow Wag at Eccles in Oct 2013. I first heard it in a rainstorm. Thought it was going to be a Citrine until we saw it on the deck. A very striking bird!
Martin Garner called it a straightforward tschutschensis.

@stevefitz.bsky.socialCommon Gull on Holme beach this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@stevefitz.bsky.socialLapland Bunting, on my fifth attempt at Holme this afternoon. I know it's a rubbish photo, but having trudged along the seawall from Thornham nearly every day this week to take it, I'm going to share it anyway #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@stevefitz.bsky.socialJuvenile Gannet diving sequence, off Holme beach this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@stevefitz.bsky.socialHead started Curlew in Thornham Harbour on Thursday evening. According to the recovery project website, this guy was released at Sandringham and spent all last winter at Thornham. My sighting was the first reported since April. I wonder where he spent the summer #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
@mcbuckland.bsky.socialYellow-browed Warblers have been frequently encountered since the all too brief easterlies on Tuesday. This bird was one of three at Holkham Pines on Wednesday morning. #NorfolkBirding
