It had been many years since I'd been out birding with old friend Pete Walton, so we headed over to Blakeney Point on Sunday morning to see the
Blyth's Reed Warbler. Pete had also been on Blakeney Point the previous day to see the
Paddyfield Warbler, so we were both making the same trek on consecutive days. Fortunately, the
Blyth's Reed Warbler was located a little closer at Halfway House & the tide was out, so we could walk along the lower beach from Cley beach car park much more easily than struggling through shingle.
When we arrived on site there was a small group of birders waiting for the
Blyth's Reed Warbler to appear.
This involved patiently waiting for the bird to briefly show sporadically as it made a little circuit of the suaeda.
Pete looks quite pleased? He's seen a few
Blyth's Reed Warblers in Norfolk previously. Bit of a bonus with an adult
Laughing Gull drifting west past Cley beach car park as we arrived back from the Point.
