Marsh Tits and Sanderling

With the very mild and sunny weather, birds seemed to be very much more in evidence today following the recent lull.

The first Sanderling on the patch this year was noted on West Runton beach, where 3 Harbour Porpoise were noted offshore.

A walk round Felbrigg revealed that most birds were in full song, obviously thinking spring had arrived, and the first Marsh Tits for the year were duely located by their song, with one in the north-east corner of the park and then another in the damp woodland at the back of the lake.
