A good start to the day, a short eared owl hunting over a roadside field south of Brancaster, got better when there was a report of a desert wheatear at the end of the beach boardwalk. The rest of the office cleared out but I had a meeting coming up soon. The bird was confirmed and I managed to get out to see it. Thankfully as I arrived the bird flew back from the tanks to the boardwalk where is started to feed. The bird was much more active than on Saturday and moved off in the direction of Thornham Point.

A great bird to see again and reserve tick 262.
