Saw some moths at the visitor centre including Privet Hawk, Popular Hawk, a yellow one, a green one, a brown one and one that looks like a stick.
Sunday was birding left to late, Due to family comitments I didn't arrive at the Car Park until 7.40 something it was pouring with rain but the skies beyond looked brighter. With some fast walking and some running I was at Long Hills by 8.15 no sign of any birders meant I had my work cut out, their is alot of Suaeda at Long Hills and with the time of year any type of flushing is a big no. I walked all around the main paths until dark but only found Meadow Pipits. Had planned to go the next morning but pulled my Hamstring triping on some rocks on the walk back so rest was needed. To be fair I thought I was a bit nuts going at that time but I met 2 Fisherman who were staying at Halfway House on the walk out and then on the way back he said did you see it? No I replied. He then told me about a man who he saw at least 30mins after me who was cold and soaked through came up to them and said about the Subalpine Warbler and told them he had caught trains and a bus to Blakeney and then swam the creek to get there - now thats dedication.
Monday's Birding was quick and simple went to Ranworth saw the Black Tern.

Tuesday's Birding - not great missed Blue-winged Teal at Cley- was not there at all.
But for Norfolk four days 7 Great Birds (5 Stilts, Subalpine, BW Teal) and one good bird (Black Tern) only here (and Shetland) could it happen.
