Thornham 18th May 2022
On the 18th we had another lazy day in the sun. We drove around the immediate area a bit and up to Chosely but didn’t see a lot except an entirely accidental Yellowhammer who we flushed from the roas as we were driving along. We ate at home that evening and then walked through the reedbed down to Thornham Harbour to watch the tide come…

Sculthorpe Hawk and Owl Trust Reserve 17th May 2022
On the 17th we took the time to drive out to Sculthorpe Hawk and Owl Trust Reserve which is well known for its Marsh Tit population so we hoped to add this species to our year list. As it turned out it was a bit quiet there. We did the full circuit of the reserve in the hope of finding these and perhaps Cuckoos and…

Holme Beach and Holkham NNR 16th May 2022
When we were getting ready for our day’s birding, I went out to the car and the first thing I saw was a Marsh Harrier over the field immediately opposite our cottage flying about twelve feet off the ground. What a start to the day. It eventually flew off and the airspace was left to the flock of Swifts that seem to be ever-present around…

Titchwell Marsh RSPB, Holmes Dunes NWT and around Thornham 15th May 2022
On the 14th we mainly got settled in at the cottage and got supplies in from the shops in Hunstanton. We did stop off for a bit at the cliffs for the usual Fulmar but also got year tick Linnets there and also a couple of Whitethroats singing in the hedgerows on the edge of the cliff. The 15th was our first real birding around…

Cley Marshes NWT and Blakeney Point 13th May 2022
On our drive from Weyford Bridge to Thornham, where we had booked a cottage for the week, we dropped in at the Cley Reserve where we got our first Spoonbill of the year. There were plenty of Avocet. We got a distant Sparrowhawk and several closer Marsh Harriers but it was notable for its lack of waders.

We tried our boat trip again on the 12th May and it was totally different weather to the previous afternoon when it had rained heavily. On this day it was wide blue skies and sunshine so we were happt to do out boat trip. Unfortunatelty the boat did not stop at the tower which affords fantastic views of the surrounding landscape because a Tawny Owl…

Hickling Broad NWT 11th May 2022
We had booked a boat trip on Hickling Broad but when we turned up there it was pretty wet and we asked if we could change to the next day. This suited them as they were trying to run at half capacity because the water was so low on the Broad; something I hadn’t thought about but it seems that this is a regular happening…
