Cley, Norfolk - 27th October 2019

A really lovely day! We were in Cley for the Wader Quest AGM, Chris being one of the trustees. We stopped off at North Point Wells on route and at Cley made a compromise and spent the morning on the reserve before attending the meeting and afternoon presentations. At the hides there were plenty of Black-tailed Godwits and Black-headed Gull with Teal, Gadwall, Shelduck amongst others, but nothing to out of the ordinary, though during high tide the Gannets on the sea were going by so close to the single beach almost looked as if over the reserve itself.

There were some good presentations at the Wader Quest meeting, which hopefully more may come to next year, though for a first meeting this years turnout was good. Presentation on the Wash Wader Ringing Group Work and from Graham Appleton around his experiances and Wader Tales blog.
