Places to visit are rather restricted when you are unable to walk any distance but, with a friend, we decided to go to the north Norfolk coast. A decent day's photography can be had from the car so we started out at Sculthorpe Moor to see if we could get better photos of the Great Spotted Woodpeckers using pre-capture on the Canon R5 mk2. My friend has the same camera.

We had a brief visit from the Woodpecker but I did not get anything better that the previous visit so nothing to show in this blog. I made a mistake that I will endeavour not to repeat. I left pre-capture on and ended up with loads of photos that I did not want. The only photo worth keeping was of a solitary Wren as it fed around the hide.

We then moved on to the harbour at Brancaster Staithe. Weather great - blue skies for a change and low but rising tide. A Little Egret was fishing

as was a Curlew that flew over to our side of the water.

The Common Gull that was around the last time I visited was still there, bathing and flying.

Next, we decided to pay Titchwell RSPB a visit but only succeeded in using the loos and then moved on as we were informed that the water level in front of Island Hide was still very high so no birds to photograph. Only during one visit recently has there been any mud in front of this hide and there were plenty of birds. Can they get the water levels correct here because I am not the only one that has stopped visiting because of this.

So we moved on to Thornham harbour with the rising tide. The usual Curlews were around.

Curlews are a threatened species but there are always a few here. Another Common Gull posed nicely.

and a Grey Plover played ball for a change.

Finally, a Black-tailed Godwit appeared on the far side of the harbour race, ignoring us as it went about feeding.

And then the light dropped so time to head for home. Another day of trying to improve my catalogue with nothing new, or even scarce to whet the appetite.
