Migrants at last

24 April 2013
At last the Norfolk coast is seeing some migrants with sightings of Black Redstarts, RedstartsWhimbrel and more common migrants such as Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat being reported all along the coast. Still some Ring Ouzels present. Also last week good numbers of Yellow Wagtails.
The One Stop Nature Shop guided walk on saturday turned up seven Common Cranes and two Mediterranean Gulls at Deepdale Marsh. And last night a Montagu's Harrier (this a heavily cropped picture).
The fields behind the shop have many active Hares and when the sun is out they can be seen zooming across the fields and occasionally boxing.
Gardens in Brancaster and Stanhoe still have a few Bramblings
and Lesser Redpoll
Swallows are now on the wires outside the shop. As ever we keep the sightings board outside the shop constantly updated with local bird news.
