Let’s
start today where we left off yesterday at The Mere where the 4♂3♀ Goosanders
were still present but the Goldeneyes had increased to 3♂1♀ and there were also
a Kingfisher and a Little Grebe on site.
At
Long Nab there was some geese movement this morning, at 09.43 a White-fronted

went south. A Little Egret flew south at 10.03 and a Tundra Bean Goose, 3 Pink-footed Geese and 2 Greylag Geese were in
a field SW of Crook Ness before flying west over Cromer Point Sewage Works at
12.10. Only 9 Shore Larks could be
found in the field to the south of Crook Ness today and the Whooper Swan was
still in the Scalby Lodge pond field.
At

Bay 2 Red-throated Divers, 2 Common Scoter and 2 Mute Swans.
The

inland but a little to the northeast of Dalby Forest is Langdale Forest where
the Great Grey Shrike was seen
