North Norfolk Coast

Last sunday decided as recently there been constant east winds for a while and so some decent birds. First stop was at Sheringham where a super Isabelline Shrike was showing very well at times darting into the bushes to feed. Also around were a few flocks of Redwings passing through and a green woodpecker.

Next stop was a visit to Muckleburgh hill where a Olive-backed Pipit had been seen though had disappeared for a while but a nice selection of winter birds where flying through with Fieldfares and Redwings passing through as well as a few Siskins and Redpolls. After about half an hour the Pipit decided to came back to its favourite around at first feeding deep in the bracket before it came out to feed around a tree and a couple of peoples scopes well worth the wait.

Then headed to Well Woods for a few hours were Goldcrests and birders all around. Starting walking down the path with Goldcrest and Robins before coming to a first group who were watching at least 2 Pallas Warblers feeding and a Yellow-browed warbler was heard. Then headed down to the drinking pool where had the amazing sight of group of Goldcrest and a few Coals tits coming down to bathe and drink. On the main path overhead more Redwing,Fieldfares and a few siskins passed through
