3rd February: Whooper Swans
Our last day in Norfolk, and we spent the morning at Titchwell where we found Pintail and Black tailed Godwits as well as Marsh Tit and Coal Tit on the feeders.
We departed for home around lunchtime and found a flock of Redwing and Fieldfare as we drove across the local farmland - our first of the trip. Finally, a small detour from the main road on the outskirts of Norfolk near Welney led us to several fields full of grazing Whooper Swans and a further two Great Egrets.
Despite the weather, we ended on a respectable 97 species across the weekend, slightly down on our best tally of 102, with a splendid eleven new ticks for the annual list!
