Sightings at Sculthorpe Moor (11th March 2017)

Decided to take a break from Cley Marshes, and visited Sculthorpe Moor (just outside Fakenham) instead. The weather was mild and it was excellent to see such a variety of birds.

Barn Owl - It was seen disappearing into a box, just outside the Jarvis Hide, at 11.10am. A really enjoyable sight for my 4 year old son and quite a surprising sight considering the time of day.

Goldcrest

Redpoll x 3 - They were frequently visiting the feeders just outside the Tower Hide window. 

Siskin x 2 - Also frequenting the feeders close to the Tower Hide.

Goldfinch x 5

Little Grebe x 2

Little Egret x 2

Nuthatch

Brambling x 12 - They are quite a common sight around the reserve. However, the majority were seen from the Tower and Whitley Hides.

Muntjac Deer - A close encounter just outside the Jarvis Hide. It continued to feed for several minutes and then casually walked away.
