As I mentioned in my previous post I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of wildlife at Center Parcs. The feeders in front of the hide were especially good. At least 1 lesser redpoll was about. Which was joined by the many siskin. As you can see most the photos were unfortunately on the feeders…
Before going to Hunstanton for the sperm whale we spent the morning at RSPB Titchwell. We sawa number of birds, including 3 lifers for me: Arctic Redpoll, red throated diver and my first definate bar tailed godwit (which I’ve almost certainly seen before, but never 100% sure it was one).

Today at Wat Tyler Country Park I was given a heads up that an osprey was present over the fleet. I managed to sneek out and get a few photos of it perched just on the opposite side of the fleet! Later on after work I walked down to the sea wall and found a…
