Glossy Ibis at Thornham.

After a horrible drive that took us nearly 3 hours with road closures & rain, we arrive at Thornham in Norfolk  in search of the Ibis reported yesterday.
It only takes us 5 minutes after we leave the car park before we find the target bird for a year tick for all three of us.
The Glossy Ibis is feeding not to far away but it is a a shame that the weather is nasty & the light is bad but it's another good year tick.
We head off towards Holkham in search of the flock of Pink footed Geese in the hope that the Lesser-white fronted Goose was still with them.
On the way we stop off for another look at the Rough-legged Buzzard that we saw last week.
We pull up to find Graham & Geoff already have the Buzzard in view so no work needed as we scope the bird in a distant tree.
The next 3 hours are spent searching for the White-front. A large flock of Pink foot are seen & followed by us but although we saw them land we can't get near enough to scope them.
A Black-throated Diver is reported in the channel by the car park at Wells so it's off to have a look, but when we get there we find it's a Red-throated diver but still nice to see up close.
So a funny sort of day with all of us just getting the one year tick leaving Brian one short of the 300 year ticks that will be the first for him.
