Quick walk down the Cley East Bank this evening but, failed to see the Twite, bummer - I did see this Spoonbill, close to and unconcerned!

The local Tawny owls are rather noisy this morning, insomnia has some benefits, laying in bed listening to them hoot and screech for the last hour, who needs sleep anyway!

It's been a great winter for Goosander at Cley, these 2 of 3 on Bayfield Lake this morning show well but, a pair of Raven overhead stole the show!

I see these offshore on numerous occasions but, never well or for very long - shame it had to die, to afford me a better view!

Looking forward to Liverpool's FA Cup match today, Accrington Stanley at Anfield, no birding from lunch time for me!

Just watched a movie called, Nobody, a great film - all the more enjoyable when they played, You'll never walked alone, by Gerry and the Pacemakers!

Recent early seawatches off Cley produced very little of note! This morning though, 3 drake Goosander and 22 Goldeneye, were unusual at this time of year - not driven west by cold weather in Europe?
