The annual New Year migration to the North Norfolk Coast for the ornithological 'first footing' provided near perfect weather - cold, dry and bright with very little wind - it did, however, remain bitterly cold! An excellent turnout given the inclement weather experienced inland and hindering MT movement. The highlights of the day were different for each person present but included: Twite, Snow Bunting, Bearded Tit, Barn Owls (flying in broad daylight) and Water Rail you could almost shake hands with! A full list will be posted soon. See the Gallery for a selection of Roger Dickey's images from the day.
