Thornham 12th May 2016 An early morning walk through the reed beds and up to the harbour and along the sea wall early in the morning (well 6.45am actually so not so early) on a lovely sunny morning was another treat and what a holiday when you can walk out of your cottage and within…
Thornham 11th May 2016 Because of the heavy drizzle first thing in the morning, I did not take my usual morning walk but the evening made up for it. On our walk to the pub, which is timed to be at Barn Owl showing time, we were still getting Reed and Sedge Warblers singing and…
Chosely Drying Barns & Titchwell NWT 11th May 2016 The second half of our day was going to be closer to home. After a snack in Wells-upon-the-Sea, we drove off to Chosely Drying Barns to look for Dotterel again. We did find a few again but they were much more distant and the views were…

Cley Marshes NWT 9th May 2016 We left Chosely Drying Barns for Cley Marshes nature reserve. I asked about Spoonbills and was given a very cagey reply. As far as I can gather the authorities do not want to encourage anyone looking for them during the breeding season. We did meet a couple who told…
Chosely Drying Barns 9th May 2016
Thornham 9th May 2016 I started the morning with a walk along the edge of the marsh at Thornham. The Reed and Sedge Warblers were all singing and I got good views of Sedge Warbler and Wren. I immediately heard a Cuckoo calling and on the marsh there were Redshank, Shelduck and the usual Corvids…
