Norfolk adventures

WOW.... that sums up are trip to Norfolk more than wow, Just on the drive there and back we saw, rooks, buzzards, kestrels, pheasants all over.  
 I have never seen so many birds I was looking forward to seeing one oyster catcher instead we saw thousands and thousands it was like being in a fantasy world.
All the birds were equally amazing if I had to pick favorite then Oystercatcher and skylark, the Oystercatchers are so striking with black and white plumage and bright orangy red beak, and the skylark seeing him on the ground so close with Daves telescope showed it in so much detail love the tuft on the head.  
Snettisham had murmations of so many seabirds and looking out all you get see for as far as the eye could see was birds everywhere, Shelduck, lapwings, ystercatchers, golden plover, grey plover, redshank, curlew, black tailed godwit, bar tailed godwit so many more.
The little birds too all you can hear is birds linnet, skylark, meadow pipit, as we were leaving we saw a marsh harrier fly over, love my birds of prey and that was another new one for me.









Titchwell Marsh was also full of birds, Black tailed godwit, Redshank, Turnstone showing well the light wasn't good but still got some nice photos of stunning birds so lucky to have seen so many birds close up.
The sanderling on the beach were so cute and funny they walk so fast. Oystercatchers on the beach too, common scooter and red necked diver in the distant diving in the sea.
