Not on the Norfolk list! Moreover outside of the 4 in Sufolk, the nearest REVs are 1 at (near) Spurn in 1990 and 2 at Dungeness in 1986 and 1984!<br /><br />Collared pratincole BBRC 1997 (deleted message said 1999)<br />(Same report and page as a Little Crake in Kent - on my list but many gripped when it left before Easter!) I digress...<br />The pratincole is on page 12/44<br />Long list from Norfolk - just one line for Suffolk<br />Suffolk Corton, 29th September (P.Ransome), presumed same as Norfolk.
