Dense fog this morning that partially cleared late morning so I set off for a walk around Norwick. I didn't get very far when I found a bedraggled Common Crane drying itself in the middle of the marsh. Unbeknownst to me, it transpired that a farmer had seen it at Ungirsta earlier in the morning. On viewing it with Robbie from Braeview he picked out a Goldcrest that landed briefly on the roof of the croft before continuing inland and an alba Wagtail flew north. And then the dense fog rolled-in again... Late afternoon and another partial clearance as drizzly rain commenced. A Goldcrest was sat sheltering on the handle of our front door and another alba Wagtail overflew. There was a Peregrine hunting over the marsh at Norwick, a Chiffchaff sheltering at the bus stop and 2 Goldcrests. Robbie had seen a juvenile Glaucous Gull at Haroldswick at midday and it was still there late afternoon.
