First Whinchat of the year for me.

Made two visits to Shingle Street and on second visit finally got a Whinchat!!
 

 
Also 3 Wheatear were present
 
 
 
 

Another visit to the Dotterel and Whimbrel

The weather looked better on Friday so I decided to give the Dotterel's another look at Eastern Bavants
 
 


Spotted a Whimbrel on the way

Well worth getting soaked to get to see these smart looking birds, a life tick for me!

Quiet end to the week brighten up by Wheatear's

After the excitement of last week, it was back to normal with exception of some very tame Wheatear at Kessingland
