NWT Holme Dunes
After what was a very windy and wet night, it was nice to find it very calm and clear by 0900hrs. The sea was very flat and visibility really clear and sharp. There was also some signs of migration when way off shore I followed 33 pintail into The Wash followed by ten more a little later also at distance. Two wigeon, nine red-breasted merganser and 12 red-throated divers also flew west but may have been "local". Two fulmars heading back towards Hunstanton Cliffs were also typical, but the two gannets east were more noteworthy. Over the grazing marshes 70 golden plover flew west.
Elsewhere on site 1500 pink-footed geese (Holme Marsh), 500 teal, 220 wigeon, 22 shoveler, 24 pochard (Broadwater), 2360 common scoter (off shore), 85 lapwing, 4 barn owl, short-eared owl, three shorelark (Thornham West Island) and a cetti's warbler.
