Saturday was our last birding trip in the UK before flying out to Portugal next week for ten days. Not surprisingly, most of the talk as we travelled to RSPB Titchwell (hoping to see a Buff-breasted Sandpiper that had been there for some time) was about Portugal – the places we’d visit and the birds we might see. Let’s hope it was auspicious that Titchwell gave us not only the Sandpiper [a lifer for all of us] but also two birds that we commonly see in Portugal – Little Bittern, and this Cattle Egret...
We also spent some time at Cley looking for a reported Citrine Wagtail. The Wagtail was our dip of the day, but there were plenty of birds on Pat’s Pool to keep us happy, including three more Sandpiper species...
