Pagham again....

Just arrived back from 2 weeks in Suffolk and a week in Norfolk....the weather has been too good for much migration but East Anglia never disappoints!

Back at Pagham there were 4 Wheatears on the spit today, 2 Rock Pipits on the tide line and a Chiffchaff in the apple tree. A very high tide produced few opportunities for wader watching as the saltings had  disappeared!

However heres a quick selection of some of the birds seen whilst on holiday.
Lapland Bunting on the dunes at Minsmere

Fiona..the escaped Flamingo now almost resident at Minsmere!

Brent Geese flying past the North Norfolk coast...on their way to Pagham Harbour ?

A particularly attractive Ruff at Titchwell

Egyptian Goose showing off....at Titchwell

Spoonbill at Titchwell

Curlew Sandpiper at Cley
Mostly Knot and Godwits at Holme

I shall put some better ones on my Flickr site when I have more time to trawl through them next week.
