We usually try to go out when our whirlwind of a cleaner is here. To-day, having eschewed a visit to Natural Surroundings, I then had to wait ages for a late phone app with a doctor.
By the time we left home, the wind had picked up and it had started to rain. Were we mad?
Collis Lane is at the far end of West Somerton, a right turn at a sharp left bend on the Winterton Beach road. We drove as far as the wind turbines before starting the search. Nothing in view. I suggested driving to the Hemsby end of this through road and driving back the same way.
Bingo. Again parking in a muddy lay by near the turbines, the 20 Tundra Bean Geese were scattered one field away. I used the small flock of gulls as a marker in very murky conditions.
The first photograph has been cropped by a good half.

I gradually cropped more and more hoping for ID evidence.
The sea at Winterton was well in and devoid of birds at first scan. Pam then found the flock of Scoter. All I saw was plenty of Cormorants.
The Ingham flock of swans has moved on.
