Young shelduck and godwits, Bishop’s Hide, Cley, late August

The 2 pec sands at Salthouse eventually gave themselves up, after staying hidden amongst reeds and vegetation for long periods

Up to 6 Caspian gulls still being seen at Cromer

Thanks Mike

Very nice👍

Black-winged kite, Hickling. Second record in 2 years-?returning bird?

Great work Russ👍

Spent a lovely couple of hours watching waders at North Point pools, Wells. Highlight was 2 juvvy Temminck’s stints that suddenly appeared but didn’t stay long as flushed by a hobby. Garganey also in attendance

Wryneck and blackberries-hopefully there’ll be a few about in the next few weeks

Nice arty photo Andy 👍

Yup. Nice when it works though 😉

Superb.I particularly like the sedge warbler👍

Probably my least satisfying twitch: Fantailed Warbler, Walberswick-saved by brief scope views perched in reeds at 200m😜

Haha-indeed🤣👍

Cattle egrets are now part of the summer scene at Cley, along with the spoonbills

Popped over to Rockland Broad to see Norfolk’s first pair of breeding Ospreys. Two healthy young were feeding well

Good year for Cromer peregrines with 3 young successfully fledged. Best year since they first bred here in 2019 and also raised 3 young

All quiet in The Broads this evening

Spent a couple of evenings back in May with the Red- footed falcons at Carlton Marshes, Suffolk.They deserved a painting

No worries Stew. We were away most of the week. Hope you enjoyed your stay at Salthouse. Maybe another time?😁

Marsh Warbler, Cley. Blasting out bursts of bee-eater,blackbird, goldfinch,blue tit, house sparrow, swallow,swift, grey heron and oystercatcher… amongst others

Unaware of an eagle as I got out my car for my Sunday morning swim…until a passing birder stopped and kindly offered me a lift. 20 minutes later I was watching Booted Eagle soaring over Muckleborough. Many thanks to birders who leant me spare bins and got me scope views👍

👍

Hi Stew. I most likely will be around Cley on the morning of 5th June but thereafter will be away …. might not work unfortunately

Hey Stew. If you fancy meeting up for a short period Cley /Salthouse let me know via DM . Would be good to meet up. Cheers

Great sketches Stew👍

Cley in May is always good for Temminck’s stints but 10 is exceptional-outnumbered dunlin! Also 4 wood sands,whimbrel and 3 knot this morning.

Little Terns and Dunlin, Arnold’s Marsh, Cley

Hey Andrew. Are in Norfolk?

Made a conscious effort to complete some old unfinished paintings that have lived under the bed for years. These godwits @NWT Cley marshes from 2009!
