On recent sea-watches we've had several species go by including: Curlew, Bar-tailed Godwit, Oystercatcher, Whimbrel and several 'unidentified flying waders' - UFW's! Further along the coast at Cley, a White-rumped Sandpiper (rare American visitor) put in a brief appearance and led to several subsequent 'false positive' reports. It was whilst following up on one of these that we did manage to find a nice but very distant summer plumage Curlew Sandpiper on North Scrape. But the best wader of the weekend, without doubt, was the Pectoral Sandpiper - another 'Yankee' - at Hickling, found amongst a group of Dunlin and Ruff on the new Brendan's Marsh. Insect activity has also picked up recently with Swallow-tail, White Admiral and Purple Hairstreak, all at the latter site.
