Wells-next-the-sea and Brancaster Harbour 07/09/19.


The caravan park here is near Holkham Hall where there were 100's of Geese on the move – late evening – with noisy large groups over.
Some Geese in a field nearby are giving me difficulty with ID – not Pink Footed, I believe they are Bean Geese , if so, a new sp. for me.

On the move again today – windy but dry by early morning.
On our way to Hunstanton, one of my favourite seaside villages, we first to a final look at the Wells-next-the-sea estuary.
The warning siren had sounded earlier so we knew the tide was coming up the estuary and the nearby mud would soon disappear.

Just 2 Terns - Common Terns or Arctic Tern were here, battling against a very strong wind.
I believe one photos are of a Common Tern.
Any comment would be welcome.

Others:

Ringed Plover, Turnstone, Oystercatcher, Curlew, Redshank, Pr Great Crested Grebe.
Some (mostly Oyks) mega distant – unable to ID.

Brancaster Harbour 07/09/19.

This is a lovely little hideaway place with a take away sea food 'hut'.
A cracking Prawn Baguette and an Eccles Cake before a look at the Waders here.
The mud was fast disappearing here as well.

Black Tailed Godwit (One with leg rings – needs further study).
Ringed Plover.
Mediterranean Gull. Little Egret. Turnstone.
Knott??
