January 18
What a beautiful winter's day - and we'd arranged to take a friend out for lunch. Joan chose Cley Centre cafe, which raised hopes.
The marsh was teeming with birds, mostly duck species. A large flock of Golden Plover and a smaller one of Black-tailed Godwits rose in a fright but I couldn't spot the raptor which was probably responsible. Half a dozen Avocets back too.
When Pam and Joan had finished eating, I tentatively suggested a ride to Holkham - which Joan immediately agreed to. Great!
Thousands of Pink-feet were visible from Lady Anne's Drive. I scoped them, hoping for something different - just a Ross's Goose (!!) in the distance which almost immediately took flight. There was a continuous rise of geese, moving inland for a last feed I guess.
