Went out on Jan 1st all day around the West Sussex coast while staying at friends and didn't see a Skylark, a Reed Bunting or a Little Grebe !!
Back in Norfolk on the local fields and villages got the list to 107:
Yesterday did a morning around the fens and got the list up to 121 - Nuthatch, Yellowhammer, Crossbill, Whoopers,

For advice about Birding, Identification,field guides, binoculars, scopes, tripods, etc - put 'Birding Tips' into the search box
And I'll be monitoring ready for the holiday in Cromer myself and Mrs PR are having later in the year.

Nice to see the otters.
I visited another good area near me- got there at 0600 and saw virtually no one-
Grasshopper warbler was showing well and Turtle Doves, Cuckoos, Bar Tailed Godwits and a migrant Red Backed Shrike- there seem to be a few about atm
List is now 161
OUT and about today and found Glossy Ibis 162 and Night Heron 163
- also Hobby Cuckoo Greenshank and Little Gull
Tried out a new marshy area in the fens area less than 30 mins from home-
50 Blackwits Ruff, Common Tern - Breeding LRP, Gadwall, Pochard, Avocet, Shoveler, Yellowhammer,
Took a trip to Frampton- loads of Green Sandpipers- 7 ( 164) + and several Common Sands, juvvy LRPs etc.
Snettisham today saw Spoonbills and Med Gulls and 00s of Knot and Black Tailed Godwits, Grasshopper Warbler singing
and a summer plumaged White Winged Black Tern ( 165) - which was a surprise as I was expecting it to be a juvenile!
