First Norfolk trip of 2022

Having delayed the trip to Norfolk yesterday, We set off for Titchwell this morning, stopping on route at Southery where we found four Bewick Swans before adding Fulmar at Hunstanton.

Titchwell produced a few decent birds, with Great Egret, Great Northern Diver, and Water Pipit the best of the fifty-plus species seen.

We left Titchwell and headed for Holkham, stopping briefly at Wells to tick a Cattle Egret. After parking along Lady Anne's Drive we headed off along the footpath and emerged onto the beach. We reached the roped-off area and quickly found the four Shorelarks. The saltmarsh held 50+ Snow Bunting which we were enjoying until a dog off the lead went bounding through the flock the owner seemingly unconcerned. Before leaving we scanned the sea and had views of three Velvet Scoter and a nice raft of Common Scoter.
