Beyond the livestream Osprey webcam, 19 mainly summer-plumaged Sanderling made for an enjoyable surprise on the west side of Arne this afternoon during a harbour-wide Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) for the BTO. The Two Rivers walk around Swineham offered male Marsh Harrier, Sedge, Reed and Willow Warblers, Chiffchaff, Reed Bunting, Swift, Swallow, House and Sand Martins.
