Took the opportunity to visit Benacre Broad today. I walked from kessingland and met another Birder Steve on Kessingland Beach just as the Snow Bunting flock passed over my head, luckily they landed on the beach behind me and I soon had the scope up and found the two Shorelarks reported on 7th November. they then alighted and flew straight towards Steve who although saw the flock of birds saw them land some 800 yards inland a bit near the Little Tern colony fence.
We then walked the beach and stopped at Benacre Pits to see a Little Egret. We then walked up t Beach Farm where we scoped at least five Tree Sparrows in the hedgerow near some Millett game cover. So far it had been a great day with three year ticks in one day. On Benacre Broad we saw a Chinese Water Deer a Black tailed Godwit and three Dunlin. On the return journey six Brent Geese flew south. Steve and I agreed we had had a good day
