Took a walk down to my coastal patch this morning near Sheringham. With rain fall just before dawn I was hoping for a few grounded migrants but it soon became evident that this was not to be and the birding was disappointing: Guillimot 1 juv offshore, Arctic Skua 1w, Wheatear 1, Willow Warbler 1, Turtle Dove 1w. Whimbrel 3, Curlew 2, Turnstone 1w. Despite the lack of birds and the somewhat overcast conditions I did manage to take a few pics including this young
Common Seal that was hauled up on the beach but looking quite healthy.

I always struggle to get close to butterflies but this morning I found several well settled in a hedgerow in lea of the wind, no sign of any Camberwell Beauty though, which would have been nice!
