Asked around and no one else carrying a scope had seen them that evening either. *sigh* can't win 'em all.<br /><br />Heard a lot of odd calls though and took a very poor quality photo which JA reckons might be a Twite. Having got back and checked Twite call, it does sound like what we heard. First I've seen, even if I didn't know what I was looking at :-)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747031095813818935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403572147310904666.post-32358466240615820922009-11-21T15:53:59.629+00:002009-11-21T15:53:59.629+00:00Thanks Jono - I didn't get in until late last ...Thanks Jono - I didn't get in until late last night so didn't see the request for info.<br /><br />I'll add a map and grid ref to the main post above.Dbradnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621088921043358779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403572147310904666.post-56541081761598424232009-11-20T22:02:31.639+00:002009-11-20T22:02:31.639+00:00At the risk of stealing Bradders' thunder, yes...At the risk of stealing Bradders' thunder, yes. Don't forget to first get fleeced by the guy in the hut, then drive right to the end. Or just park over the road and walk it instead, saving £3.50. Take the boardwalk directly in front on you, and when you hit the beach, bear right/east, either staying close to the edge of the pines, or by following an obvious creek. The birds tend to hang about where the creek vaguely ends, feeding on the saltmarsh level with a large gap in the dunes.Jonathan Lethbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791327377479687655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403572147310904666.post-67106762715884427202009-11-20T10:29:02.049+00:002009-11-20T10:29:02.049+00:00I'm going to be up in Norfolk this weekend, st...I'm going to be up in Norfolk this weekend, staying in Sheringham, and a visit to Holkham for some Shorelarks is definitely on the itinerary. Is there any particular bit of the reserve I should be focusing on? By the looks of it my best bet would be to park in Lady Ann's Drive and walk up from there.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747031095813818935noreply@blogger.com
