Set out for one lifer ended up with two in Norfolk.

Jimmy & I set off just after 5 am & head  up to Burnham Overy in the hope of getting a lifer in the Isabelline Wheatear that Brian got yesterday & had been around for a couple of days.
We hope the bird has hung around for another day, when we arrive we just about get the car parked off the road & as we start the long walk the pager tells us that the bird had been seen,so only 20 minutes away from another lifer.
We join a small group & they had seen the bird but it had just flown over the back & out of sight, so it's a case of just waiting & after 20 minutes the Isabelline Wheatear returns & we get some great views of this little beauty.It walks about feeding & it doesn't seem to bothered with the group watching it.
 So a lifer for both of us & as we scan the bushes I get a real bonus when a Radde's Warbler shows well sitting out on the side of the bush, Jimmy had already got one this year on a trip that I never went on so another lifer for me. Now we walk to the Western end of gun hill to look for the Desert Wheatear that had also been here for a few days. When we arrive a large group  already had the Desert Wheatear in they scopes, it was over the other side of the water running about on the sand along with the Isabelline  that had flown down  from where we had first seen it.
They are a long way over but we get great scope views as they run up & down the sand & some times the Desert Wheatear sits up on a log but to far away for my camera to capture any thing.
We hear that a couple of Waxwings had been seen at Burnham Norton, so we head off & find the place & meet the fellow that put it out & he tells us where to head to see them.
We walk a short way to the sluice gate & scan all the bushes but after an hour we give up & leave without any sign of them. Also seen 2 White fronted geese amongst a large flock of Brent, several Egyptian geese also seen walking about with them, a large flock of Pink foot are over the back of the same field. Ringed Plover, Grey Plover, loads of Oyster catcher along with loads of waders while watching the Wheatears.
So off home with 3 ticks 2 of them lifers so a good trip.
