Re: A corner of Norfolk

Fair point regarding Pensthorpe Seymour.

Plus it isnt cheap to get into either!

Hi Seymour

Again we will take the areas on board and look forward to seeing waht we can in the time we have.

Once we have our normal car back it will mean another trip to Manningtree and it opens the doors to another visit to Norfolk so we are flexible once more - for another day or so.

Lots to think about at the moment and study!!

Hint-

the route I detailed out above is easy to follow if you buy a small Road map of East Anglia from a local  NORFOLK petrol station ( costs about £3-99)  Stainsby garage just south of Hunst will probably have one.

For Pinkfeet the fields east of the A149 south of Sandringham are normally reliable. Park carefully .

Hi Seymour

I will look into purchasing  a decent map of the local patch of East Anglia

No worries as long as we get a decent one rather than rely of the large AA one we have!

I would go with the planning before you set off. Norfolk has so many different places to visiting for wildlife walks and birding.

Have a great time.

Hi-  Use Neil Glenn's guide to birding sites in Norfolk ( available at Titchwell RSPB shop)

You can't beat it :)

Off to Titchwell and probably Cley today myself weather permitting. The guide sounds useful I'll see if I can pick one up at the shop.

How true that is about everything. A thought for today.
