The bird can be seen from the car park but we pay the £5 donation & after spending a short time with the Waxwing we walk the reserve & find loads of Bullfinch from a couple of hides.
At Tower hide we get our first Bramling of the year when 2 birds drop onto the feeding tray just outside the right hand side of the hide along with Marsh Tit,Coal Tit, Longtail Tit & Nuthatch, Its nice to just sit here in the peace and quiet watching these fabulous little birds going about their daily life.
A great time spent here before it's off to Titchwell where after not finding the Woodcock on Meadow trail we walk up the central path & a Bittern has just dropped into the reeds only yards from the path.
An hour spent as it kept teasing us showing & looking like it was coming right into the open before moving back into the reeds but a few good looks & it gets us another year tick.
Before heading off we have one more look for the Woodcock,once again no sign but our first Chiffchaff is ticked.
Willow Tit is ticked as we pay a visit to Cockley Cley after we do a small detour on the way home I missed seeing any Willow Tits here last year so a real bonus when we see a few on the feeding tray & also get to hear them to confirm that we have seen the right bird.
A dull sort of a day but with 6 new year ticks we had a nice day.
