Trip reports
 | Saturday, 11 February 2012 Cley Marshes and Salthouse Beach Despite a temperature of -12°C as we departed for the Norfolk coast, it was a magical journey, with hoar frost on the trees, snow on the ground and layers of mist hanging over a sun drenched land!

There being no hides here means that you have to bring your birding skills to the fore and 'work' for your sightings! More... |
 | Saturday, 20 August 2011 Snettisham and Titchwell - Norfolk Eight of us arrived at the Snettisham reserve car park and we soon set off for the long trek to the beach. The idea was to get to the pools, created by shingle extraction and protected from the sea by a wide sea bank, before the high tide turned. More... |
