Looking a bit exhausted at times.

20201017 The Twitch
A scene reminiscent of an Emperor Penguin colony but on mud.
c500 in distance with steady stream back and forth.
Note guy in wheel chair....  
2 policemen were staggering out to the colony as 'jump start Eric' and I left.

Biro sketch of the bird of the year. Could not resist....
Interesting to note that the Salt Marsh is a SSSI,
so the local NT's had called out the police on at least two days of the twitch sighting damage to the site and to a farmers ploughed field.
The NT's take no action with holiday makers or dogs running over the marsh throughout the year....?? Even fail to stop the Norfolk harrier pack flush and hunt hares over the site...??
