A look at the sea off Overstrand this afternoon produced a Shag on the sea which was watched slowly drifting east on the tide. After a while it was surprisingly joined by a second and then after a while they both flew off west towards Cromer.
A few Gannets, a couple of Kittiwakes and the odd Guillemot were also noted offshore, along with a couple of Knot, Sanderling and a few Oystercatchers all moving west.
A check up at the reservoir showed that the Common Sandpiper was still present, and a Little Grebe had also taken up residence, the first one I've seen on there this year, and as they frequently do, in the absence of any vegetation to use as cover, it spent most of its time hiding inside the tyres around the edge.
