Norfolk Adventures

Another Great trip to Norfolk before we even got to Norfolk we saw a Barn owl well Dave saw it I just got a glimpse of something flying off really need to go specsaver's lol
 We started at Hunstanton where my boyfriend was going to surprise me with seeing the Waxwings but they never turned up, but we still had an amazing day and so nice of my lovely boyfriend to think of surprising me like that :)
We went to sea front at Hunstanton and saw the Fulmar's flying great views of a stunning bird,
struggled with getting a photo still need to get to grips with taking birds in flight. Also great views of the Turnstone and Oystercatchers right by the road I couldn't believe it lol

We then went onto Thornham Harbour where we saw twite such lovely little birds, also had very distant views of Red Breasted Merganser also saw Brent geese.
    We then went to Titchwell, had only been there ten minutes when Dave found a Water pipit lovely views through telescope, very exciting to see my first ever water pipit, also had better views of snipe was nice seeing them on the ground and not just in flight like before.
Also I finally got to see Avocet had been dying to see them in the wild, they were sleeping but one
lifted his head long enough to see the amazing beak :)
We saw Ringed plover my first time, better views of Bar tailed and Black tailed Godwit :)
   Then we went to Cley Marsh for Bearded Tit Dave could hear them, but we couldn't see them but then as we were walking back down one flew up and flew away so not very clear views but still nice to say I have seen one. We then went onto Salthouse Beach nice views of Wigeon in a field near where we parked up, then on the pebble beach were Turnstone's all feeding in the pebbles, and a Redshank and Common Gull was amazing to see all these so close up.
It was getting later now so we decided to head back and stop of for the Barn owls Hotspot, as we were leaving we saw a Redkite in flight, also further along  we had to pull in because we saw a very white buzzard sitting in the tree, but was just a common Buzzard beautiful looking Buzzard. :) Also nice views of Pink footed geese.

We stopped of at a place where Rough legged Buzzard had been spotted recently but never saw one had lovely views of Barn owl though, and a white pheasant lol
We headed for the Barn owl hotspot pulled over sat in car, was only a few minutes before Dave located two Barn owls perched, was amazing to see them through bins but then the one flew over the field nearer so better views.
I was over the moon with all the birds and the barn owls amazing how could things get any better but they did on the way back we pulled in because Dave spotted,Red legged Partridge made it ten lifers for me at Norfolk.we got out of car to have a closer inspection when we saw a Barn owl close down hunting for food, just out of this world to watch him didn't need bins, so so nice to see this wonderful bird so close for about five minutes then he caught a vole and flew off :)
Totally totally amazing day once again thanks to my gorgeous boyfriend, for taking me and showing me all these wonderful birds :) :) :)
