Hooded Crow Norfolk


We went on trip to Cley in  Norfolk yesterday, we being Gen,John,Carolyn and myself. After an enjoyable few hours looking at all the waders for a Curlew Sandpiper (which we didn't find) a message came through of a Hooded crow not far away so we went for a look. After viewing it and getting this record shot it flew up and away .We left the area and went along the coast to Holme. On arrival we saw a Barn Owl which we viewed for a good 20 mins or so again I got a record shot.
After seeing the owl we walked along the boardwalk to take a look at the sea. There we found numerous Curlew, Bar-tailed Godwits, Sanderling, Dunlin, Oystercatcher, Turnstones and Ringed Plover on the foreshore. Looking out to sea we saw a large group of gulls and terns which were being harassed by a couple of Arctic Skua and a Great Skua. Fantastic aerial displays were seen.
