In the fading light of yesterday afternoon some more patch gold at Wootton Grange Flood Lagoon #KingsLynn - a relatively close Red-necked Grebe #NorfolkBirding

Some distant footage of the Lynn Point #Norfolk Dotterel that I found this afternoon - another new patch bird this year #NorfolkBirding

An interesting sky at Lynn Point this morning - look carefully and there’s a Glossy Ibis up there - not bad for an iPhone pic #NorfolkBirding

Short-eared Owl roosting at Lynn Point this afternoon - my first there since March and they’re never normally this close!#NorfolkBirding

A lone Guillemot on the River Great Ouse at Lynn Point on the 24th September this year for #SuperSeabirdSunday

I’ve had an excellent 3 days birding within 10km of home, most certainly topped off by finding this Lesser Yellowlegs this morning on the Wootton Grange Flood Lagoon #KingsLynn Other highlights were a Little Stint, 2 Spotted Redshank and 7 Spoonbills at Lynn Point #NorfolkBirding

Really pleased to see this Spotted Flycatcher this afternoon on West Winch Common #Norfolk - a new bird within 5km of home #NorfolkBirding

Found this Shag early this afternoon a couple of miles from home at Wiggenhall Bridge (where in Dec ‘21 I saw my last one), my 130th species this year in the 5K patch Unfortunately it appeared unwell but had managed to move on by early evening #NorfolkBirding

Great views of Great Reed Warbler on the outskirts of Wrocław #Poland

Eagle Owl and 2 young in eastern #Netherlands this afternoon - an excellent start to my trip

The gorgeous Roseate Tern @wwtworldwide.bsky.social Welney this morning #NorfolkBirding

Channel Wagtail at Lynn Point yesterday evening with a Blue-headed and c.20 Yellow Wagtails, all rather distant though. At least some of the 15+ Corn Buntings showed okay #NorfolkBirding

The Hardwick Flood Lagoon near #KingsLynn is ticking along nicely this month with 9 species of wader so far including LRP’s, Greenshank, up to 4 Ruff and up to 6 Green Sands. It was also very nice this morning to see my first Yellow Wagtail of the year #NorfolkBirding

The Baikal Teal at Sint Pancras #Netherlands showed well early this afternoon

Spectacled Eider off IJzeren Zeekaap #Texel today - when you’re so late to the party you’re on your own and after searching through hundreds of Eider off Wagejot I came across it loosely associating with 2 or 3 near the monument #brileider

Corn Buntings have been showing better at Lynn Point over the past few days - yesterday I counted 31 but others have estimated 40 to 50 birds - also Short-eared Owl #NorfolkBirding

It’s taken me a couple of weeks to catch up with any Corn Buntings at Lynn Point - first seen on the 3rd Feb by @garyelts.bsky.social - but this morning I managed to connect with about 20! They weren’t easy as they were out on the marsh - luckily they had a mad 10 minute fly around #NorfolkBirding

The 5 Shorelarks at Old Hunstanton appeared surprisingly relaxed this afternoon going about their business on the shingle ridge - even with the heavy human and dog traffic #NorfolkBirding

The 2CY Glaucous Gull at Old Hunstanton is an absolute brute and showed well early this afternoon - having a wash after gorging itself on the dead seal #NorfolkBirding

It was good goosing in King’s Lynn today opposite Bespak - Lesser White-fronted Goose, 6 Russian White-fronts and 000’s of Pink-feet. Shame I couldn’t find a Tundra Bean but I’ll be looking again tomorrow🤞 #NorfolkBirding

@markgolley.bsky.social @dan-gornall.bsky.social Pink-footed Goose VVA in King’s Lynn this afternoon opposite Bespak amongst c.3000 Pinks with the Lesser White-fronted Goose (that I found at Lynn Point back on the 8th December) and 6 Russian White-fronts #NorfolkBirding

A lone Bewick’s Swan with 74 Whoopers this morning about 1.5 miles east of Outwell from the Stow Road #NorfolkBirding

One for #SuperSeabirdSunday - White Tern on Bird Island, Seychelles from March 2022

I cannot match @markgolley.bsky.social with 8 but I’ve been fortunate to see 4 fantastic Ross’s Gulls in the UK - Filey 1983, Scrabster, Cley 1984, and near Exeter in 2014. However in June 2022 I was lucky to see this first summer bird in Vardø Harbour, Norway. It definitely gave the best views 👍

I sent this to my wife yesterday and she thought “why is he sending me a picture of lumps of mud in a field?”and then she realised they were moving - 5 Grey Partridges about a mile from home near Setchey - I watched from afar and left them to feed in peace on a frosty morning #NorfolkBirding

Roydon Common was on top form with 6 Hen Harriers at dusk yesterday - this video taken at 1620 hrs showing an adult and an immature male (2nd year bird?). Another adult male and 3 ringtails (all in view at the same time) were seen with the first bird in at 1555 hrs. #NorfolkBirding

Happy New Year all. Not the best video but nice to watch a ringtail Hen Harrier at Lynn Point today - the usual hard work there with 56 species seen in nearly 4 hours. Now 85 species in two days within 10km of home so not too shabby #NorfolkBirding

Plenty of birds at Lynn Point this morning including c.1500 Golden Plover, c.2500 Lapwing and 500+ Fieldfare in varying flocks heading west. A couple of hours at Roydon Common NNR this afternoon until dark gave up the desired Hen Harriers - 2 ringtails and 2 males - one on the ground #NorfolkBirding
