We visited Titchwell RSPB numerous times during the week as it was close to our caravan in Heacham and also had hides to shelter in during many periods of rain. As usual a wide array of birds were present in the marshes and on the sea. A list of the best included 5 Red Throated Diver, 9 Brent Goose, Pectoral Sandpiper (American rarity), 2 Little Stint, 50 Ruff, 10 Avocet, 3 Little Egret, 5 Marsh Harrier and 6 Bearded Tit.
There were quite a few hoverflies still on the wing with Didea fasciata, Sericomyia silentis being the pick. The Toilet block lights are always worth a check for moths and included Black Rustic, Green Brindled Crescent and Red Underwing also present was a Speckled Bush Cricket. In the dunes plants in flower that I could identify included Sea Rocket and Sea Spurge.
