Ness Point: Several RED THROATED DIVERS flying through mostly North with auk's unidentified amongst them. Also a few ducks but again to far to id. One PURPLE SAND and a TURNSTONE is all it can deliver today.
Leathe's Ham: The amount of ducks varies here from day today or even from hour to hour. So again there seems to be low numbers here. But did make 12 PINTAIL DUCK 1 KINGFISHER 14 COOT and the best was a pick up on to CHIFFCHAFF. Both birds were a/typical and nothing to get excited about. If only? Also 3 DABCHICK and 22 MALLARD. with BLACK HEADED GULLS and HERRING GULLS as well as a fly through KESTREL. Other small stuff around with about 15 LONG TAILED TITS and a scattering of BLUE TITS. I also had 7 BLACKBIRD and 4 WRENS as well as 11 CHAFFINCH.
Lake Loathingland: Don beside the lake a single REDSHANK which did not stay long and with it a single TURNSTONE. Also had some CORMORANT fly out towards the sea and a few young gulls just being young in the water.
Acle Strait (Yesterday): Best bird on way through was a very good showing ROUGH LEGGED BUZZARD. This bird was low to the ground and turned this time for a good view of it's rear end. Surprise. Also has another COMMON BUZZARD buzz the car. Large flocks of GOLDEN PLOVER in the air as were the LAPWING. Only had one CURLEW. The west side of Acle on the North of the A47 just before Cantley junction a flock of PINK FOOTED GEESE about 290 birds in all. But nothing with them. Mind you I did have about 25 FIELDFARE and few REDWING with them in copse along the back road to Wroxham.
Thought I would have some shut eye before beginning my feed up.
Of recent weeks had up to six Blackbird in view in the garden. This one has stayed and looks as if it's beak is bigger. But not much else to make it a continental bird.
