Great day in Norfolk Purple Heron & Dotterel.

As we near Docking where the Dotterel's have been reported, we make a decision to head off to Cley to look for the Purple Heron first & that was a great choice as we only just got up the bank where the bird was being seen & we got so lucky as we got on the Heron straight away & got a good look at it before a Lapwing attacked it & we got a good flight view before it flew out of sight.
So with the bird flying so far away we head off to Docking & after 20 minutes we get lucky again when 3 Dotterel's are spotted in the field apposite the one  where we where looking & the fellow that found them calls us over & we get some good scope views.
Off now to Titchwell where we get on a couple of Red-crested Pochard to give us all a year tick & then up on the beach another tick when we watch a few Little-Terns fly about in front of us to give great entertainment.
We spend a few hours here & with the sun shinning on us it was a really nice day & it gets better for me as we are heading  back to the car a Spoonbill drops in to give me another year tick,the boys already had that for a tick.
So off home with 5 year ticks  & a very nice day had by all.
