EAST NORFOLK: Birding curtailed by snow

Early April 2021

As restrictions started to be loosened I finally left Norwich to visit family and friends in North Walsham. Unfortunately the weather forecast for my trip to see Adam was rather unconducive to birding. We had intended spend some time near the local coastline, but the squally winds meant this plan was abandoned fairly early on, with a couple of Wheatears the only migrants seen. Heading inland a sunny spell meant a nice ten minutes of woodland bird song (Chiffchaffs, Willow Warbler, Blackcap and Marsh Tit), but this was followed by a snowstorm, at which point we gave up and headed for home.
