[ Recent Sighting ]
A quiet start to the year with up to 7 Shore Larks at Caister and
Winterton in January and a wintering Turtle Dove at Ormesby St.
Margaret. These were followed by an American Wigeon and a good series
of Black Redstart and Firecrest sightings from March with a 'Northern'
Bullfinch at this time. Wood Warbler, Red-rumped Swallow, Serin,
Temminck's Stint, several Spoonbills and the first of a good series
of Montagu's Harrier sightings were found in April but most striking
was the passage of Ring Ouzels and Bar-tailed Godwits.
May was an excellent month for rarer species with Black Kite, Dotterel,
Bonaparte's Gull, Temminck's Stint, Pectoral Sandpiper, Red-footed
Falcon, Alpine Swift, Broad-billed Sandpiper, Icterine Warbler,
Bee-eater, Red-backed Shrike and Common Rosefinch all being seen.
