Head 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

Yellow-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

This male Kestrel posed nicely for me in Norfolk. #Birds! #norfolkbirding #UKbirding

Caspian Gull #2 ~ this one was in late, in low level light, but still very smart...

Another enjoyable roost on the marsh this evening ~ the 4 Glossy Ibis whizzed east at 1845, two smart (& one less smart...) Caspian Gulls came in towards dusk (all different to last night) + single YLGull, 1CY Little Gull & Barn Owl & Kingfisher.

An eclectic mix on the scrapes late in this evening ~ the 4 Glossy Ibis appeared at 1850, dropping initially on North. Superb juvenile Greenshank, 3 Caspian & 3 Yellow-legged Gulls (& an argentatus & LBB x HG hybrid) & at least 30 Song Thrushes around the hides & scrapes.

The eclipse Pintail was present again on the river at Wensum Park in Norwich this morning. There was also a singing Chiffchaff, a Kingfisher and a Canada x Greylag Goose in addition to the usual park species. #NorfolkBirding

Woodlarks singing at Roydon Common this evening (sound on) #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

One of three Wheatears on the beach at Holme yesterday evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Yellow-browed Warbler at Holme this evening. An autumn migrant, once very scarce but more numerous in recent years. A small influx seems to have arrived on the Norfolk coast today following the first easterly winds we've had for ages #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Peregrine back on Kings Lynn power station this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Snow bunting still 9n beach near holme dunes @birdguides.bsky.social #norfolkbirding

A preening Purple Sandpiper at Titchwell this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Purple Sandpiper at Titchwell this afternoon. First one I've seen in ages, as we don't get so many down this western end of the North Norfolk coast. This one had chosen a resting spot close to the main path, so quire a crowd gathered #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Two of the six first winter Caspian Gulls in to roost at Cley on 24th September, plus three YLG. The pink glow from the setting sun washing across Simmonds Scrape. #NorfolkBirding

A few Gannets fishing offshore at Holme last night. The adults stayed a long way out, but the juveniles didn't seem to mind coming a bit closer to the beach #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Arctic Skua flyby on Holme beach this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

The juvenile Black Guillemot at Cley gave good views off the beach this morning. Seems to like the easternmost pink buoy best viewed off the entrance to north hide #NorfolkBirding

The eclipse drake American Wigeon at Cley on Wednesday was educational. Not seen one on this plumage before and hadn’t realised how rusty the flanks could appear. Great find. #NorfolkBirding
