We took a late afternoon drive up to the coast, with the intention of viewing a few sites, taking an evening meal and then looking for Nightjars.
The first stop was Salthouse, quite quiet with Avocet in the field, Curlew over and Sandwich Terns off the shore line.
Next in line was a stop at Blakeney and just before the footpath heads out of the village we took the time to view a singing Nightingale along with Jackdaw, Coot and Moorhen.
Taking our evening meal in Thornham with House Martin, Swallow and Swift over, we then set off to a wooded area near West Newton. After a short walk through the wo
od we waited till the dusk appeared, in the twilight two Woodcock went over, then the Nightjars appeared, very close, but uncharacteristically moving off, probably to better feeding areas, as I noticed we didn’t suffer too much from being bitten. None the less good views!
Life bird count: 387 Year bird count: 204 Month bird count: 68
