Peregrine in its usual spot on the power station yesterday. Taking a break from bothering the Teals on the river #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Great Egret, on one of the fenland drains just outside Kings Lynn yesterday evening. Once a very scarce bird, they seem to pop up all over the place these days #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Dunnock singing with a sense of urgency at Lynford Arboretum yesterday. He says it will be spring soon, and I really believe him #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

That’s what was posted on RBA. I am tempted to pop over there tomorrow to see how accurate it is.

Plenty of Greylags mixed in amongst them. Someone else reported the 200+ number and I was not inclined to make my own count because the weather was bloody awful.

Seems to be another big influx of Russian White-fronted Geese taking place on the north Norfolk coast at the moment. This flock near Titchwell this afternoon numbered a couple of hundred birds. A flock of 1000+ reported further along the coast at Holkham #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

This Kestrel and I were equally delighted with the weather at Titchwell this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds

Slavonian Grebe, in the pouring rain at Titchwell this afternoon. Normally only see these distantly offshore, so worth getting a bit soggy to get a closer look at one #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds
