Next was for the ARCTIC WARBLER. For two hours this little gem led us a merry dance through the pines at Holme. Brief 5 second glimpses in the tops of the pines were all we got. Luckily we could follow it around and so we had enough views to be satisfied. Unfortunately, Arctic Warbler is still not on my photo list, but here's a nice crowd shot - all crammed into a tiny spaces craning their necks.
Then it was on to Cley and the East Bank for WRYNECK and LAPLAND BUNTING. The Laps were no Problem - we had them flying over our heads as we sat on the ridge for two hours waiting for the WRYNECK to show. We also had the wind blowing in our faces for the whole time. Our time was livened up by a photographer who decided to sit facing us. Below is a picture. The WRYNECK was actually found only a few metres behind him. One birder decided to go down and ask him why he was sitting where he was. The Wryneck then flew out of the grass behind him and we finally got our views. The funny thing was about this bloke - his camera was never set up!
Bird of the day though was a Ruddy Shelduck sat with the Egyptian Geese. This picture is especially for my good friend, the Blurred Birder. He'll appreciated the quality of the picture plus the birds in it.
Lastly, the Lapland Buntings showed well as we walked back to the car
