Norfolk continued:

Next couple of days of our stay were spent in the local Harbours, Di Stone has joined us, staying at her usual watering hole in Sandringham, we had been trying for the Grey Partridge for a few days and dropped on lucky early one morning, we then met up with Di, Pete and Allen on Titchwell Beach in the hopes of practicing our flight shots, when a nosey Grey Seal just popped up from no were, to see what we were up to.

Pensthorpe Norfolk.

With day nine's weather unpredictable, we chose to visit Pensthorpe Wildfowl Park, if you have never been it is truely worth a visit and the weather turned out to be better than we thought, we spent the day there and we only covered about a third of what was on offer, for me I could have spent the whole day with the Bearded Tit's and again the trip was mainly for my benefit as it gives me a chance to see everything up close and personal, helping me not only with my identification skills but also with my camera skills and settings and I got the benefit of that when we went for the American Black Tern in Lincs, and again with the Sabines Gull on the way home in Cambridgeshire. Don't get me wrong the Bearded Tits are just as elusive as the East Bank at Cley and do be careful when entering the enclosed area's as I got one hell of a wack round the head by the trailing leg of a Juvenile Black Stork practicing his flying skills, did at first blame the Seal but he assures me it was the Stork!!

Blithfield Res.

Should really be spending my time going through more of my Norfolk shots, but could not resist a lovely sunny day especially when we don't know how long this Indian Summer may last, (yea! yea! I know there has to be a frost first before it is classed as a real Indian Summer)but it is close enough for me, thanks very much. As always Blithfield never fails to come up with something interesting, especially when I can get a shot of the Seal in action as well (the master at work).
