Long-billed Dowitcher, Great Livermere, Suffolk
Today I decided to have a day rounding up some local rarities. Stopped at Great Livermere first where the summer plumaged Long-billed Dowitcher proved to be very obliging. Also present were the summer plumaged Bar-tailed Godwit and 2 Common Sandpipers.

I then travelled back into Norfolk finding 7 Stone Curlew along the way. Started at Titchwell where a slightly unseasonal Brambling fed by the feeders.

While at Titchwell the pager spat out news of a Pallid Harrier along Blakeney Point. Being an inherantly lazy slob I decided that it may be best to try to see it from Morston Quay. I was not alone and the bird was soon located flying west along Long Hills & Yankee Ridge.
The next piece of news concerned a Purple Heron, supposedly visible from the A149 at Holkham. While the bird was not as close as it had been it did show well by being very un-purple heron like and standing in a field.
