5 Sea ticks + probable Stejneger's Stonechat.

The three of us head off early to Cley,it's a clear run & we are up on the beach around 7 where we find the car park packed & loads of scopes looking out over a very rough sea & strong wind making very good conditions for us to see a few sea ticks.
A long line of birders stretched along the beach trying to find any sort of shelter from the wind.
We found an old tractor to shield behind & soon the birds started to pass by.First up we see a flock of 4 Eider followed by a Little Auk  so a good start with 2 year ticks.
Then the highlight of the day when a Pomarine  Skua flies along the beach right in front of us for a great view for everybody.
This is followed by a flock of Scoter with two Velvet Scoter with them, we also needed them for a tick.
Only one more tick while on the beach when a distant Great Skua is picked up by Jimmy & he gets us onto that.
The sea is getting calmer now & the flow of birds is slow so it's off to look for the probable Stejneger's Stonechat at Salthouse. A Glaucous Gull is seen before we leave the beach.
with the car parked it's a short walk to where the Stonechat has been seen & we are onto it within minutes,a bit far off at first but came a lot closer as we watched along with a small group of people all hoping for a positive I D.of the bird.

The Stonechat

hopefully a Stejneger's
