I served nearly 60 years there, my sons hated being dragged up there on a Sunday morning and wife was very unimpressed but I loved it. Titchwell and Holme are my local patch nowadays but always check to see what’s at the res.

The juvenile Glaucous Gull was still between Old Hunstanton and Holme this morning. Along with six Shorelarks and a few Snow Buntings. Red Kite also scavenging on the beach.

Brain aberration rather than typo! Time I was put down.

Just 10/4 here in Castle Rising, NW Norfolk. The lowest since I’ve lived here. The best was a single Pine Carpet.
