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,

     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!
