Norfolk - Warham Greens and Wells

A really fun and productive day in Norfolk which made a really pleasant change from the humdrum of the previous few weeks.  

My second Brown Shrike was a lovely sight that showed really well along the northside of the coastal path hedge east of Wells at Warham Greens.  Also in the area were a Whinchat and a Common Redstart.

There were plenty of interesting things to see within the area and particularly in Wells Wood where we spent a decent amount of time walking through and around the woodland.

This Pied Flycatcher was one of many migrant species to be found within the woodland.  

One of the day's highlights was a Red-breasted Flycatcher that on occasion showed really well.  It was a case of being in the right place so watching it flit around the woodland was a really fantastic sight.

The woodland also held a Tree Pipit that creeped around the understory reminiscent of Olive-backed Pipit that I'd seen there on a couple of occasions.

Along the track behind the holiday park, this juvenile Red-backed Shrike was feeding alongside the path.  The poor soul also had an eye defect but seemed to be behaving normally.

It is always such a great moment seeing your first Yellow-browed Warbler of the autumn.

A total of three Redstart were seen during the course of the day, a Greenshank was seen feeding on pools with Black-tailed Godwit alongside the coast path at Warham Greens.  A couple of Brambling were heard within the woodland where Siskin and Redpoll were constant flyovers within the area.  

Autumn has arrived.
