Norfolk, 29th October 2012

Day one of our Norfolk trip: a pretty good day! We started at Horsey, where not only did we enjoy the hundreds of Common Scoter offshore and both species of seals on the beach, but even caught a little sun! A female Black Redstart at the Nelson's Head pub was a surprise over lunch. Then off round to Hickling, where we enjoyed a male Chinese Water Deer, at least 35 Marsh Harriers coming in to roost, a lovely ringtail Hen Harrier passing close by twice, and best of all a family group of 4 Common Cranes at unusually close range... We spent the day enjoying ourselves, and so, it seems, did these guys!
