Travelling up to the North Norfolk Coast there was little to see in the fields except Pheasant, Crows and Wood Pigeon but arriving at Holme changed the trend. Stonechats were abundant along the track, Marsh Harrier over and as we parked a Barn Owl flew low out of the small coniferous wood. 
We walked out onto the windy beach, low level small skeins of Brent Geese were frequently moving west along the near water. On the tide line were waders; Sanderling, Grey Plover, Black-tailed Godwits, Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher and Knot. Further up were feeding Gulls; Black-headed, Common and Herring. Several Curlew also flew west along the beach.
Next stop was Titchwell, numerous species on the feeders including Brambling. Out on the fresh marsh the waders included; Avocets, Ruff, Bar-tailed Godwit, Snipe and the wildfowl; Pintail, Shelduck, Teal, and Shoverler. Out on the Salt Marsh there were Skylarks and a Peregrine Falcon over. For the day we had a total count of 65 species.
