Before any proper birding could be done, a return visit to Burnham Norton was necessary to retrieve my tripod leg which fell off last night! Thankfully it was still by the path.
Pink-feet and
Dark-bellied Brents,
Marsh Harriers and
Cetti's Warbler brightened up the occasion.
Then it was on to Titchwell for the intended few hours' general birding before heading home. Highlights included two flighty
Water Pipits, two showy
Water Rails, a
Spotted Redshank, a
Long-tailed Duck, two
Chiffchaffs, four
Pintail, a
Red-throated Diver, three drake
Goldeneye, five
Red-breasted Mergansers,
Rock Pipit,
Bearded Tits, a flock of 35
Knot,
Cetti's Warbler,
Avocets, and close views of
Bar-tailed Godwits,
Grey Plovers, and the like feeding on the beach.

A pit stop at Sculthorpe Moor NR secured views of the
Waxwing conveniently feeding and resting by the reserve car park.
