A windy start to the day that became wet as the day went on. I'd walked a circuit around Norwick with RJF but the strong wind was hampering our efforts. Whilst getting ready to leave for our Covid booster Brenda noticed a pale Bunting in our garden - an Ortolan! With the nurse on the phone offering us an earlier appointment due to cancellations, we hurriedly threw down some seed and hoped the Bunting would perform to the birders currently on the island but it wasn't to be - hopefully it will resurface tomorrow as the weather improves...
Norwick: Long-tailed Duck, Yellow-browed Warbler, Goldcrest, 2 Chaffinch, 2 Brambling & Ortolan Bunting.

all images obtained through windows so I've had to tweak the colours
