Birding Group Visit to Goyt Valley and Dane Bank Quarry 2 June 2026
The first outing of June for the birding group was to the Goyt Valley and Dane Bank Quarry. We had somewhat mixed weather and also mixed results. Our target birds here are always Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Redstarts, Tree Pipits and, at the quarry, Ring Ouzel and Wheatear. We were disappointed in some of these but also had some success.

22 May 2026 – Frampton Marsh RSPB

21 May 2026 – Chosely Drying Barns, Blakeney Point and Morston and Thornham
We started off around Chosely Dryng Barns to see if we could get Grey Partridge but we couldn’t!

Perhaps it was a way of fertilizing it during a fallow year?

20 May 2026 Titchwell Marsh and Hunstanton
I wasn’t feeling that great, having developed what I though was a Willow pollen allergy but which now seems to be yet another lung infection. I decided to see if I could work my way though it but it meant that I struggled at quite a few bits walking around the tracks at Titchwell.

19 May 2026 Cley NWT and Holme Dunes NWT
Woke up feeling rough still. It was raining a bit when we went to breakfast and when we loaded up the car, so we decided not to bother going back to Hickling Broad and instead drove up to Cley where we just stopped for a cup of tea and a look at the nearest bodies of water.
