It's always a lovely walk through Cley and despite the cold, this was no different. We tallied a fair number (47), including another sighting of the lifer we had seen the morning before, a Knot. Both types of Godwit were around and sightings of both Golden Plover and a Spoonbill were a good end to the morning.
In the afternoon, we took a trip on a steam train on the Poppy Line, between Holt and Sherringham. We then went for a gorgeouly sunny, but dismal for birds walk around Kelling Heath and finished off with superb dinner in the Crown Hotel, Wells.
