10 Jan - a visit to Norfolk, first stop Cley and within 2 minutes the White-crowned Sparrow (top) flew down to feed - a striking bird, the fifth UK record. Up the road at Salthouse beach, a Snow Bunting (middle) flock together with at least 2 Lapland Buntings (bottom) showed very close feeding on a seeded area. One Twite made a brief appearance.
Titchwell was unproductive in a very strong wind, but 2 Marsh Harriers struggled in the gale, and a handful of Common Scoter were off the beach. Flocks of Pink-footed Geese flew over at intervals all along the A149 coast road.
Finally, a male and female Hen Harrier floated over Roydon Common, and the Great Grey Shrike was located low in some small bushes seeking shelter.
