Actually, spring had pretty well arrived a week ago, with a good arrival of Common and Lesser Whitethroats, Swifts, Common Tern, Sedge Warbler and other common migrants, along with 2 White Storks at Damgate near Acle. Also a Merlin was an entertaining watch as it swooped and dived around Waxham dunes. This Early-May Bank Holiday weekend heralded a further arrival of migrants with Cuckoo, Turtle Doves, Redstart, Yellow Wagtails, lots of Swifts, hirrundines etc. I spent the Saturday at Waxham and today (Monday) up on the North Norfolk coast between Kelling and Stiffkey. Stiffkey Fen was quite good with 8 adult summer Med Gulls, an adult summer and 1st-summer Little Gulls plus lots of swift and hirrundines to look through.
