The Big Sky County

I awoke at 4:50 this morning (call of nature) and promptly got up and went to Norfolk.

Isn't it typical the light was awful? Still lots of birds about. Pectoral Sandpiper, Curlew Sandpiper, Little Stint, Knot, Bar Tailed and Black Tailed Godwit, Sanderling, Ringed Plover, Peregrine, Pink Footed Geese, Marsh Harrier, Eider, Red Throated Diver, Guillemot, Razorbill, Gannet, Sandwich Tern and Arctic Skua being the highlights. total species 78 and there were some really silly birds I didn't see.

Photos were poor today. My fault I wasn't paying attention.
