Spent sunday morning trying to relocate the Ortolan or the Lapland Bunting but had no luck . I then heard news of a Wryneck at Walsey Hill NOA and as all I needed to do is cross the road to get the Walsey I decided to go for it but sadly no luck again but thats what make it interesting it wouldn't be fun if you always got the bird.

In the afternoon I let the birds come to me by rotating myself around the hides at Cley. 3hrs in the hides at cley I managed to see some Curlew Sandpipers, Little Stints, 5 Spoonbill, 1 White fronted Goose and a Little Ringed Plover.
