Still in Norfolk, at Snettisham, in the morning, I was sat in a hide recording the arrival of 1000's of Knot coming into the pools at high tide. Later I went to Norton Marsh where there were lots of geese, especially Pink-footed and Brent, Wigeon, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Red-legged Partridge and 6 Twite.

In Fiji on Taveuni, 3 new birds and 1 new mammal seen today.

A visit to Cheddar Reservoir where there were lots of ducks, Coot and grebes, including a Black-necked Grebe.

A return to the Wash to record waders for the RSPB, mainly the 50,000 Knot coming in and leaving their high tide roost, mass flock take-offs from the pool and then various sized flocks flying overhead back out onto the mud.

At home in Portishead where the adult winter male and female/1st winter female Bramblings, that I had seen yesterday, returned to the garden with a 1st winter male.
Also seen was the female Blackcap which had been visiting for a couple of days.
