There is still three hours of daylight left to find more but here is a taster of what we have had at Titchwell today.
A quiet moment in the Fen hide early this morning gave good views of the water pipit, two snipe and a brief in flight view of the bittern. It was a bit windy for 'booming' but the bittern gave it go even if it was a little half hearted.
Mid-morning seawatching rewarded those who ventured down to the beach with a stunning summer plumaged red-necked grebe, red-throated diver, 3000 common scoter and 21 velvet scoter. A peregrine was seen briefly hunting over the saltmarsh.
Migrants included a single wheatear, sand martin and house martin. Chiff chaff numbers continued to rise with at least five singing around the meadow trail.
Finally around the visitor centre and feeders a single brambling flew over, these have been very scarce this winter. The three tree sparrows continued to be seen through out the day with rumours of a fourth as I type.
With a forecast of northerlies for the start of the week the arrival of more migrants may have to wait until next week, but you never know what turns up unless your out looking for it ,so I'm off to do just that. Bye.
