Well worth the visit!
I'd like to return to Norfolk, only went once but enjoyed the area around Blakeney and enjoyed sitting on the beach watching thousands of terns back and forth feeding their young

Went on the annual trip into Norfolk and Suffolk with Andrew Vaughan and had a good day (yesterday) After putting the world to rights on the drive down to Weeting Heath we were disappointed to find rain rather than the promised rain Birds seen in this area included stone curlew 1 only woodlark c4 tree pipit c4 mistle thrush nuthatch 2 common whitethroat blackcap willow warbler chiffchaff swallow After a sandwich it was the short drive to Lakenheath Fen Here we met two ladies who told us about the two black-winged stilts which seemed to have made the shortish commute from Frampton. We had discussed making a detour to Frampton for these! black-winged stilt 2.
