No show Shearwater and drake Smew

On Saturday 27th December, I was shopping at the sales in town with Jenny & Matthew at Marks in the town when I heard of a drake Smew at Carlton Marshes and eventually I arrived at Carlton Marshes carpark, I then looked on the phone and it said a Great Shearwater seen earlier at North Norfolk had been seen going south from Winterton and if it continued on its current trajectory it would with great luck be seen shearing south off Ness Point at 12.10pm, with the hardened seawatchers assembling at Ness Point, I immediately diverted and reached there at about 11.40am. Despite a concentrated seawatch until 1.05pm no sign of the hoped for Shearwater, Scroby sands probably forced it further out to sea. The only birds seen was a Diver on the sea and several c10 Divers flying past and c5 large Auks flying past too. Also seen on the sea were around c50 Wigeon, a group was on the sea together. After I left I drove back to carlton Marshes and a large group assembled just beyond the Moorings Hide revealed the fine male Smew at the back of the lagoon due west of where we stood. In the same area as the RN Grebe earlier in the year. The bird was a fine 'white nun' with white plumage black 'cracking lines' on its plumage and a black face patch, a stunning bird as always (but never close). The bird swam left and the gradually right until out of view. Also seen was a Great White Egret flying left, a female Marsh Harrier quartering the reeds and a Buzzard that flew low over the marsh.
