Trumpeter Finch Cley 1/2nd June

Having seen my first Trumpeter Finch only last year after a trudge up to Blakeney point, a lingering bird on Cley beach proved too tempting to resist. Though viewed at some distance, in not the best light the evening visit also provided excelent views of a singing Marsh warbler and a stunning male Red backed Shrike. Some brief snatches of song from the nightingale singing at Walsey Hills left the query about the possible Thrush Nightingale unresolved.
