Monday was our duty day at Cley - accompanied by Pat, one of our grandsons. Pat and I left the morning briefing in a hurry, in response to a phone call from 'Gresham Phil' saying that the 'Pec Sand' (Pectoral Sandpiper) was showing well along East Bank. And showing well it was, at the bottom of the bank on Serpentine. Unfortunately it only 'showed well' for the next minute before it flew to the opposite end of Pope's Marsh, and out of view. We spent most of the day patrolling East Bank in the hope it would return - it didn't, at least not until the evening, by which time we'd gone home! There were no other highlights. An evening excursion to Felbrigg didn't produce much either: Swift & Little Owl being the highlights. This morning - at 3.30am - a Tawny Owl was calling loudly from our small town garden!
