Red Knots in Flight
Just some of the 25,000 birds in the flock(s). But they were straight overhead showing their bellies, and the different stages of winter plumage.

Later Summer Birding in North Norfolk
Original Post
Some of you might have picked up that I have started to show more interest in birds. Either on the side panel of this blog, on Mastodon, or in Real Life™.
One time I was visiting RSPB Rainham Marshes, I spoke with a chap who recommended I should go visit the reserves in North Norfolk. I was aware of the richness of habits there from the BBC's Springwatch and Autumnwatch programs, including the conflagration of large flocks of birds there in the autumn migration season, especially at spring high tide.
I had done a little research, but found it hard to decide on where I should go, until I discovered that I could do an organised tour of the area. So I ended up on a train to King's Lynn in mid-September to join a tour with Wildlife Worldwide.
Freeeee. I hope these birds dont leave my backyard lol

Saw a rare Glossy Ibis yesterday at Rainham Marshes.
Not great photos, but you can't have it all.

A Jack Snipe Close Up
I had a lovely day out at the Rainham Marshes yesterday. One hide I stumbled into was full of excitement, and it turned out this Jack Snipe was bobbing up and down right under the hide while foraging.
After a while, a crow spoiled the view and chased it off.

A Small Selection of the Oystercatchers at Snettisham
About a few hundred Oystercatchers are sitting, sleeping, and walking around on a bank. Some are foraging at the shore.

Might as well change my account name to Cockatoo photo of the Day. 🤣

Redshank Strolling On The Mud
This lovely bird was mooching about white close by on the mudflat at Brancaster Staithe. Picking through the puddles and mud to find something to eat.

Black-tailed Godwit Smooching About
At RSPB Titchwell Marsh, there are many different habitats. This one has many muddy flats, and different species.
This bird was being chased by a fellow bird, and landed almost straight in front of the hide, with the light just being right.

A bunch of them were turning over things on Hunstanton Beach to see if there were any grubs to eat.

Green Sandpiper Stalking
These birds forage on shorelines, probing the mud with their long beaks. They're not too disilimar from Common Sandpipers, which are interestingly less common.

The second photo here is out of focus, and wouldn’t normally survive the first cull, let alone get shared on social media, but it was actually a really interesting view of the way the finch’s red colouration runs along either side of its beak - I’ve never noticed that before.
Red-browed finches (Neochmia temporalis) in Scheyville National Park, out to Sydney’s west.

Mirrored Snipe
One of the many birds that came close to the hide in Titchwell Marsh. Spend ages foraging.

Short video of the Great Blue Heron along the pond that lines our backyard.
He was back this morning and definitely ready to eat. He even scared a couple of mallard ducks away from this area before returning for his breakfast.
"my" Eurasian collared doves like to perch themselves on the gate. but i've found if i ask politely, they will move down the fence for me 💙
GLOSSIES!!!!

Pied Avocet Trying to Find Some Food
This was one of many close by at Titchwell March, and one of the hides when we were trying to spot the rare Spotted Crake. It did show, but the nice photos are from other birds, such as this one.

Dartford Warbler Posing
In nearly the same spot as the Stonechat from the previous post, this tiny Dartford Warbler sat still here for a few moments.

We were looking out for Dartford Warblers, but then this cheeky bird popped up. A little far away, but it sat still nicely.
