A lunchtime dash to Brogborough Lake to see the Leachs Petrel that was found there this morning. An unusual inland record for this seabird, although it is the second one I have seen at this site.

After staying in Sheringham we drove along the north Norfolk coast road stopping at Salthouse, Cley, Titchwell and Hunstanton. Here are a few photos that were taken during the day. A cold day with a strong northerly wind.

Spotted Redshank at Titchwell

Started the day early with a trip out to Priory Country Park to see the drake Ferruginous Duck and Black Necked Grebe that have been there for the last week.

I then went home picked my son Michael up and we went to Norfolk for the weekend. We went to Buckenham RSPB to see the Taiga Bean Geese, to Haddiscoe for a Rough Legged Buzzard and then onto Stubb Mill, Hickling Broad where I saw 2 Hen Harriers, numerous Marsh Harriers and a Merlin come into roost.

We also had time to go to Winterton so my son could take pictures and video of the lighthouse there which he will post to his website worldwidelighthouses.com and youtube.

 Off to Norwich tomorrow to see the mighty Luton Town in the F A Cup. Norwich City are a premiership side, Luton are currently playing  in the Blue Square Conference 5 leagues below the host side. Should be a good day out, Luton sold their allocation of 4000 tickets very quickly and could have sold many more.

Another day of snow and freezing weather has brought many birds into the garden. The best was a brief visit from a fieldfare there have also been up to 11 bullfinch on the feeders.
