4th April 2015 (Norfolk)

We headed to the seafront at Weybourne, and located the Iceland Gull in the second field, but it was surprisingly flightly, and flew over to the next to field as we approached. Eventually it settled down and allowed some better pictures before it flew west on the sea.


On our return to the car park, another birder had managed to locate one of the Lapland Buntings in the 2nd field, and I was surprised to see that it was almost summer-plumaged. The bird later joined up with a second bird, again a near summer-plumaged male.




As we returned to the car park, we had yet another surprise in the way of a pair of Eider flying east on the sea, and also a male goosander. Also a mediterranean gull near the car park.



Walked along Blakney Quey towards Cley, had little more than a marsh harrier, a bar-tailed godwit and 3 avocets.
