Accounts of past Norfolk Rarities
We've added a number of example descriptions from the archives. Some are great examples of how to write descriptions of species on the description list and some are the descriptions of huge Norfolk rarities from across the years.
First off, here's the Blythy's Pipit from Stiffkey Fen in October 2015.

Next, a very popular bird that provided lots of enjoyment to many Norfolk birders. The Great Knot at Titchwell in March 2016

Another rare wader again, but this one sadly where the ID was only clinched after the bird had flown. Norfolk's first ever Least Sandpiper at Cley in July 2016.

Lastly two Pine Bunting descriptions. One is from Norfolk's third ever record, on Blakeney Point and the other, a great example of field sketches from James McCallum and his Pine Bunting from Felmingham in January 2017
