Norfolk Parts 2 & 3!

I never got around to continuing with Norfolk, as we scooted off up to Scotland for a couple of weeks, so I will condense parts two and three into one, so that I can get on with the Scottish stuff.

So for the rest of the week in Norfolk we tootled around our favourite haunts, visiting Titchwell, various other coastal viewpoints and a full day at Holkham with a beach walk and spending some timer in the two hides.

So here are some highlights:
Sunset at Holkham,
 Shoveler at Titchwell,
 Avocet,
 Dunlin,
 Redshank,
 Dunlin and Knot,
 Curlew,
 Grey Plover,
 Bar-tailed Godwit,
 Teal,
 This Black-headed Gull, followed us from Titchwell Beach, almost all the way back to the first hide!
 Little Grebe,

As we left Titchwell just before dusk, we were amazed to count at least 15 Marsh Harriers, working the reed beds.
Marsh Harrier at Holkham,
 Egyptian Goose,
 Kestrel,
 Cormorants off to their roost,

The full day at Holkham produced our first ever Shore Larks, after 3-4 years of trying!

Plus a very fine Brent Goose.

That was the rest of Norfolk in a nut shell!
