Weekend birds

8 January 2012
The weekend has provided some fine weather for bird watchers on the coast. While the wind has gusted up to 30mph on occasions it has remained dry and largley sunny. Two Rough-legged Buzzrads have been showing well at Holkham Freshmarsh and the Arctic Redpoll has been feeding regularly outside the RSPB centre at Titchwell.

Along at NWT Cley reserve the long staying Western Sandpiper continues to be seen by many and Waxwings are now being seen at sevearl sites in Norfolk, with some twenty six birds at Costessey, near Norwich.

In the shop Night Vision has been the hot favourite with much interest in the Bushnell Night Watch

4 x 50 monocular. This compact and lightweight night vision scope has a built in Infrared illuminator for viewing in complete darkness. With Muntjac Deer, and other animals becoming more used to wandering round our gardens at night, these Night Vision Monoculars have become more popular, especially now they are priced under £300
