Frampton Marsh was my first port of call last week and both Semi-palmated Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs were still present despite being rather mobile ... but a Pectoral Sandpiper remained more site faithful to give some nice close views ...
Then on to my planned destination of North Norfolk where high water levels on the marshes left less feeding areas for waders than usual ... among the Ruff there were some very smart males ...
Curlew Sandpipers were rather scarce but one at Burnham Overy showed well as it fed along with a small group of Dunlin ...
At Cley some Cattle Egrets dropped on to Pat's Pool and finally numbered a remarkable sixteen birds ...
Mediterranean Gulls turned up at a few locations including an adult past Sheringham ...
... followed by a second-winter bird there ...
... and a very distant first-winter bird on Arnold's Marsh in rather murky conditions ...
... juvenile Gannets were a frequent sight close inshore ...
... and a Starling roost started to build ...
