North Norfolk trip - 15-17/11/2014

TITCHWELL MARSH RSPB
 
 
Lovely male Pintail

Little Egret

One of my favourite waders - if not favourite birds - the large flocks of Golden Plover to be found in the winter at Titchwell

Zooming out...

...and out

Common Snipe
 
HOLKHAM GAP - GREAT NORTHERN DIVER TRAPPED IN A FISHERMAN'S NET AND BEING RESCUED BY CONCERNED PASSERS-BY
 
Really trapped

Surprisingly calm

Getting there

You'll be free and off to the RSPCA soon

Blurry, I know, but the closest I've ever been to a Great Northern Diver
 
WALKING TO SCULTHORPE MOOR IN THE RAIN - THANK GOODNESS FOR WELLIES, TREES AND UMBRELLAS!
 
No comment!
 
 
CLEY MARSHES - NOT ONLY INTERESTING BIRDS BUT DRAMATIC LANDSCAPE AS WELL
 
Stonechat

A typical pose

And closer

Dramatic weather added to the landscape

Ditto

And a lovely sunset over Cley village to round off the day and the trip
