Benacre in days of yore!

On Sunday 19th March, a tweet from Rob Wil and by 8.30am I was watching from Gunton cliffs a fine distant flock of 20 Bewick's Swans in a tight group way out on the sea, there were 3 immature birds with them, too. I then went to the layby saw Jeremy who said the Stork was still perched in a tree, looking out from the far end of the layby, the White Stork was perched on a bendy bough of a branch of a tree further back than its usual daed tree. Driving round to just before The Street between Alder and Church farms, stopping to talk to david B and his wife looking into a cow field I saw on the right side of the field near the fence a flock of Wagtails including 3 fine White Wagtails (2 males and 1 female). To the south a flock of 45 and 60 Redwings were sen flying north. David and his wife left and I suddenly heard the rasping of a super Brambling and looking west I could see it perched in a tree, but it then promptly flew north-east into a wood. The white rump clearly seen as it flew. David B and his wife reappeared as did Matthew D and we suddenly saw the Stork initially flying west and then it turned south and then flew right over us and then towards Alder Farm again it then circjled higher went south and then over us again and then towards Alder Farm, where we saw it being mobbed by a Red Kite! It then flew south. Meanwhile in the field a flock of 40+ Linnets seen and they were joined by 30+ Chaffinches. We heard chackling sounds and a flock of 110+ Fieldfares flew east over out heads! This was like Benacre in the days of yore! Later on in the afternoon, a look around, Hamilton Dock was fruitless, same at Ness Point save for my first female Black Redstart of the year perched briefly on Semblemarine SLP roof, nothing at Net posts either.
