Visit on the cards hopefully Friday or Saturday weather permitting Kev - so in what areas do I need to be looking for firecrest, brambling and black redstart

Hi Chris

Most of the birds listed were close to the accommodation or office - so if you can cover the remaining 1400 acres on Friday that would be great !

I think the black redstarts have moved on now but firecrests again today around Sykes farm (two) and Aylmer. Quite a few finches on the move again today despite the poor weather - bramblings are usually involved in these movements.

You can see Hunstanton clearly from here but I dont think anyone has been able to pick up the alpine swift yet !
Cheers

Couldn't find the firecrest but Kev told me where to find them just as I was getting into the car to go home - next time!
