A few more images of the trip to Norfolk...... now I've thawed out.
Shrubby sea-blite, plentiful on the Snettisham shingle but rare elsewhere in Britain (there's a few bushes near Lydd apparently).
Two hares
Medieval cartoon carving in Ely cathedral
Curlew
Barn owl : 2pm
Dersingham Bog - "The best time to visit the reserve is between July and August".... not January then.
Welney Wildfowl Trust reserve. Could they be waiting for something?
Oare Marshes - go in the afternoon when the sun's behind you.
But if you want to see waders, don't go when it's frozen.

wow..these are great! I love the shots of the water birds and the owl and the cartoon carving and the hares! Well, just everything.
Steve ,
Looks like it was a trip well worth getting chilled for .
Never seen the Shrubby sea-blite, see it's in the Goosefoot family.
Good point re. Oare and great mix of species in the shot .
Knew you'd get an old building in there somewhere .
Shrubby Sea-blite is on the beach by Lydd ranges. I've only ever seen it on Chesil beach close to Ferrybridge, where it is easy to find. Lovely Norfolk scrapbook Steve!
Thanks for the comments!
Mary, I've been bored with winter, but then the sun comes out.....
Fred, you know my feelings about old piles.
Steve, have you ticked SS-B yet? You'll have to travel around a bit to achieve your ambition, I fear.
Steve, regarding your comment on blog about the Romney Marsh trip; it is programmed to be on Sunday 6th June. Anyone is welcome, just let me know if you can make it so I can give the farmer and idea of the number of people attending. Tea, coffee, and cakes will be provided for a £1 donation, and the walk will last about 2 hours.
