OK not exactly north-west Norfolk, but a nice place to watch the sea for an hour (1210-1310hrs). The southerly winds and clear sunny, and still mild conditions weren't exactly ideal. However conditions aside it turned into rather a nice session with a few highlights: brent goose 7 west; common scoter 12 west; gannet 11 east; red-throated diver 3 west, 4 east and 2 on sea; great northern diver on sea; guillemot 4 on sea, including a summer plumaged bird; a kittiwake west and finally a superb glaucous gull (at c1230) being mobbed by two great black-backs, the bird a first-year gradually moving east and closer to the shore, the great black-backs being replaced by a few black-headed gulls and gradually removed from the premises and out of sight to the east.
