Birdwatching at Cley Marshes
Another very bright mid November day Cley Marshes. With the daytime temperature still above 18 degrees at the marsh, Dragon flies and butterflies were still the wing. The winter visitors were still a bit thin on the ground, reports of a small flock of Snow buntings on the shore heading for Sheringham and a a few waxwings had been seen along the coast. However we had great views of four Marsh Harriers over the reed beds and a Cattle Egret on Pats pool along with Teal, Wigeon, Pochard and Pintails.
Bishops Hide
At the Bishops hide we were entertained by two little Grebe’s fishing, over a 30 minute period they managed to catch about five or six small fish and when they moved off two Common Snipe moved into probe the soft mud. We also had the opportunity to get some close up images of a pair of Mute Swans and Pintails
