Another wonderful day round and about Blakeney in North Norfolk. Not so many birds photos today but lots of walking until the sun set.

Blakeney

We walked on a circuitous route through the Blakeney Marshes to Wiverton Hall where we met the legendary colourful character Desmond McCarthy from the television series “Normal in Norfolk” which I include here, in my nature blog, as we had an engaging conversation about hunting and country life.

We also had a visit to the NWT Cley Reserve late in the afternoon – was it for the tea and cake or the hides? I would have to say that the cake was certainly better than the reserve today although we did see a ruff and a hobby.

This must be the same redshank I saw two days ago in the same spot
