motty Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) 79 this afternoon on the N norfolk Coast This confirmed what i thought i saw today. I Was on my home from Wells this morning and decided to take the coast road home. The missus thought i was rather strange when i pulled the truck over for no apparent reason. But i had spotted a small V,high in the sky. They were near Burnham Norton but there was only around 20.
