 Just returned from a 4 day visit to North Norfolk, staying at the Dun Cow, Salthouse. A none birding break, with walks everyday with Wendy, so just camera and binoculars. Consequently only 80 species for the trip. Friday a walk from Salthouse to Sheringham along the cliffs, Saturday, in blistering heat, from Morston to Stiffkey and then bus to Wells and today a wonderful wander around Holkham Hall estate, including the extensive deer park. Highlight birds: yellow browed warbler at Kelling Quags, lapland bunting, Salthouse beach car park, lesser spotted woodpecker, Holkham Hall and short eared owl, coastguards car park at Cley this morning. Other good ones: bearded reedling, brent and pink foot geese, grey plover, wheatear and stonechat.
