Had a leisurely breakfast at 8:30am. Headed outside to catch the 9:42am Coasthopper Bus for the short ride from Brancaster Staithe to Titchwell. Walked to the feeders that are across from the visitor center and saw Chaffinch, Blue and Great Tit, Greenfinch and House Sparrow.
Walked towards Fen Hide and was quite happy to see a male and female Bullfinch and a Hawfinch. Brilliant!! Nothing seen at Fen Hide, so I headed over towards Island Hide, which is quite nice with several large (floor to ceiling) windows. Hundreds of Northern Lapwing and Golden Plover, along with Pintail, Pochard, Avocet, Little Grebe, Wigeon, Shoveler, Shelduck, Teal.
Decided to do a bit of sea watching and was rewarded with Long-tailed Duck, Goldeneye, Common Eider, and Great Crested Grebe. It was getting close to 1:00pm, so headed over to the visitor center for some lunch. Had a tasty Stilton and Mushroom hot baguette, Diet Coke and chocolate cake.
Headed back out to Meadow Trail, then on to the track leading to the beach. Another visit to the Island Hide produced Red Knot and Brent Goose. Walked up the track a bit and saw a good size flock of Twite. It was time to work my way back to the bus stop. On the way out, I saw Wren and Blackbird.
Got the 15:14 Coasthopper bus to for the short ride to Brancaster Staithe. Had a bit of dinner and packed. Back to London tomorrow. I will miss this area, as I had a wonderfully fantastic time discovering Norfolk.
