A trip along to Snettisham produced the hoped for Shorelarks with two feeding at the far end of the shingle beach. Out on the mudflats large flocks of Knot wheeled round in the air in spectacular fashion and a Peregrine flew past.
Back on the patch, a Barn Owl was hunting the old golf practice ground on the outskirts of Cromer, and two Pale-bellied Brent Geese were with a single Dark-bellied Brent at Trimingham, with these birds being part of an influx of pale-bellied birds this winter, with record numbers of them being noted in the east of the county.
