First stop we try Wolferton for a try for Golden Pheasant, a few trips around the triangle & a small amount off time parked up produces no sign of the target, so we head to titchwell in the hope that Jimmy & myself can get a tick by seeing a Water Pipit, we know we can pick one up somewhere else later but while here lets look, the only problem was that the management had flooded the scrape, so not to much about today.On the way to the hide all we see are many Chaffinches & the odd Robin but not much else.
A bit of a disappointment tick wise but always nice to visit here. A visit to Salthouse means a long walk down the shingle to see a flock of Snow Bunting 60 or more are seen along with 10 or more Twite, they don't want to hang about to long, so only a quick snap of a few of them.
So we head off to Lady-Anne's drive to scan the many Pink footed Geese in the hope that the Snow Goose was with them, once again no luck only Brent are picked out with the pack.
But we do see 3 Grey Partridge feeding near the fence & later on we see some more as we head off to Cantley Marshes to try for the Bean geese reported, the light has started to beat us now & although we pick out a group that probably were Bean Geese they were just to far away for us to be certain in such bad light,so once again we miss out on the target but we did get to hear & watch the hundreds of Corvids going to roost, as always a really great thing to wittiness.
Tick wise not a good trip but any day out birding with the boys is a pleasure.
