Day at Titchwell after Black Scoter

Early start for the 2 hour trip to Titchwell, we arrive at 8 o'clock the weather is not looking to good a little bit of rain & not to bright.
We head up to the hides to wait for the slight rain to stop, while in the hide I get another year tick when we spot 6 Spoonbill, a couple of young being feed are in the group.
Spotted Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit,plenty of Ruff about in various colour, also common Sandpiper,1 Green Sandpiper, some Oyster catchers, many many Avocets all over the scrape.

In amongst the Dunlin we spot 1 little Stint, that is quite easy to spot when they all fly up & land again the size is the give away.
Also seen a juvenile L-R-Plover, we spend a good 3 hours looking out over the scrape, it is packed with birds all morning, the weather is not going to get any better it seems, so we head up to the beach to look for the Black Scoter  that has been reported yesterday, talking to people here it seems to be a doubt if it is as reported, but we give it a go just in case it turns out to be right.
After about an hour there is no sign of it, only 1 Common Scoter is seen,so if it turns out to be a  Black Scoter when its seen we missed it.
A few Sandling & Oyster catchers plus some Bar-tailed Godwits but not much about on a grey day at the coast.
