I shall run through the title as in order so here goes...
You may have gathered that it was my birthday, on the 13th November, but unfortunately it was on a school day. I didn't go birdwatching until the weekend so I'll get to that in a minute. First though, its the invasion of Coal Tits in our garden. They are daily now, and sometimes, there are more than one of them.

Now, its the trip to Lynford Arboretum. Enjoy the pics and videos!

And then a flock of about 15 Lesser Redpoll!
A Marsh Tit
And brief views of a Firecrest!
We did not see the reports of 2 Waxwings in the Arboretum though which was a shame. Here are some of dads pics....
Some of the Lesser Redpoll
And a striking male Bullfinch
Moving on, and on Thursday lunchtime at school, I was playing football with the lads when I saw 4 massive birds flying overhead. I raced to get a better look, and they were Stork shaped birds. When I got home, I went straight onto rare bird alert, and no-one had put in a report of Cranes / Storks going over Bacton. So that was a miss. I still haven't got a clue what they were. They weren't Swans, and I don't think they were geese?
Now, it was a visit to Cley on the Saturday just gone....
Brent Geese on Arnolds Marsh
with a Little Egret
and some handsome Widgeon
We then moved on to Salthouse, where the big shock of the day came....
Turnstones with a Common Gull on the beach
1 of 2 Common Seals
Plus a flock of thousands of geese, Containing a Richardson's Canada Goose!
We were fortunate enough to get a group of about 50 Canada Geese come in and land near Gramborough Hill, and I was scanning when I found the smaller Richardson's walk in front of a common Canada. It was amazing to see. My best bird ever!
A quick mention, this was in the garden Sunday lunch...
A Sparrowhawk with its kill
Happy Birding
