Eastern Yellow Wagtail, Carlton Marshes, Suffolk, 22nd December
2020. Although distant, interestingly darker-headed and
with only an indistinct supercilium cf last winter's Sedgeford
bird. |

Velvet Scoter, Cley, 19th December

Little Egret, Cley, 18th December
2020. An oddly marked bird, very like one here a few
years ago and very like an apparently different bird at
Sudbourne, Suffolk last week. |

Otter, Cley, 7th December
2020.
It seems just a single Otter has been showing most days at Cley
NWT for the past month or so, but the times of day and locations
are very erratic: the Main Cut viewed from East Bank is favoured,
but it also gets seen on the saltings viewed from West Bank and
from Daukes' Hide; late morning today it swam along the
Catchwater Drain, under the bridge to Bishop's Hide and towards
East Bank. |

Part of the raft of 37 – all females – that have been lingering
for a few days. |

Cley, 3rd December
2020.
Lockdown 2 is over so the shooting morons were out in force this
morning, right next to Cley NWT Visitor Centre again. They have
neither sense nor shame. |

 |
| |
|
Iceland Gull, Cley, 3rd December
2020. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Caspian Gull, Cley, 3rd December
2020. Along with the Iceland Gull, this fine bird
lingered with other gulls feeding on starfish close to the beach
carpark this afternoon, thanks to the rain and the consequent
lack of humans all over the beach. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Fox, Cley, 3rd December
2020. What a beautiful wild animal, rarely seen at Cley! |

Bewick's Swans, Cley, 30th November
2020. It seems at least 42 passed west over Cley today.
Just like the old days – a passage unprecedented in recent
years. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Grey Seal, Cley, 30th November
2020.
There are now three seal pups between the beach carpark and East
Bank, so it's surely well time to insist on all dogs on leads on
Cley NWT beach. (This quick snap taken with a long lens while I
stopped for less than 5 seconds.) |
| |
 |
| |
|
Halfway House, Blakeney Point,
27th November

waders in Blakeney Harbour at the moment. |

|
North Scrape, Cley, 20th November
2020. Plenty of birds this autumn/winter on the North
Scrape, including it's the best place for Pintails. Can we have
our North Hide back please NWT? It's been missing for far too
long! |

Coastguards Helicopter, Cley, 15th November
2020. Looking for a lost windsurfer, but, when flying
low, it surely wasn't necessary or wise to turn over North
Scrape and Cricket Marsh? |

|
Linnets, Blakeney Bank, 15th November

Pintails, North Scrape, Cley, 15th November
2020. Can we get the hide replaced? |
| |
 |
| |
|
Desert Wheatear, Gramborough Hill, Salthouse, 14th November
2020. This was a lucky shot; actually, this particularly
fine-looking male is very mobile and nowhere near as confiding
for close photography as some Desert Wheatears – perhaps because
it is an adult? |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
|
Raven, Gramborough Hill, Salthouse, 14th November
2020. I think this is the first Raven ever to be
photographed on Cley and Salthouse Marshes. It flew off west
with another. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Desert Wheatear, Gramborough Hill, Salthouse, 13th November

a few glimpses, but Sue got these nice shots. |
