New year - new blank list:

We started early- team of 4 and did a  traditional Jan 1st route  around the NW corner of Norfolk

8 1/2 hours and a  Chinese takeaway later it was 100 spp , 

The weather and wind direction were against us and some staked out regulars let us down - but it was better than last years !

Best birds were SEO, Tree Sparrow, Great Northern Diver , Black Necked Grebe, Cattle Egret, Bullfinch, Nuthatch, Marsh Tit.

    Local Little Owl finally arrived on the barn.
    A wander around the washes and a walk around some north facing hill slopes on the way to the coast...
    Whimbrel flying over, Wheatear , Whitethroats all over, Swallow and Cuckoo calling.
    The Temmincks Stint still at Titchwell with more Grasshopper warblers.

    Way behind you Seymour but a 2nd trip to our moorland square got us Ring Ouzel, Wheatear and Meadow Pipit all carrying food so presumably they have young. We also had Common Sandpiper to add to the year list. Yesterday on our local reserve we saw and heard Garden Warbler and Blackcap singing in the same hedge which was good for comparison. These plus Mediterranean Gull flying over and a Greenshank eating newts brought the year total to 116. We really need a couple of days sea watching to add some fresh birds.

    Singing Garden Warbler, in competition with a Blackcap for comparison, Common Tern and 4 very active Little Gulls brought my total to 120 so slowly creeping up.

    I've made it to 116 thus far. Damned Covid kept me at home for longer than I'd hoped. I have a trip to Northumerland and Farne coming up though, that should add a few.
