A walk round East Runton produced another Whinchat, a female this time, and surprisingly the Sedge Warbler was still present happily singing away from its clump of brambles. Nearby two separate Reed Warblers were singing from similar dry scrubby areas on the outskirts of Cromer.
A walk along the cliff top towards Beeston Bump produced the surprise of a Broad-bodied Chaser and around the bump 2 further Whinchats and a Ring Ouzel were found.
A visit to Felbrigg revealed that there had been a mass emergence of Broad-bodied Chasers with at least 30 present, many of which were mature males so they had obviously been around for a few days. Also present were a few Four-spotted Chasers, the first of the year, and a Common Blue butterfly in the meadow to the south of the lake which finally allowed a close enough approach to get some photos.
Birdwise there were two Common Sandpipers on the lake edge, the Cuckoo was still calling from the woods and both Sedge and Reed Warblers were in the reedbed.
