The highlights of our hols in Norfolk..


 The forecast was rain in Norfolk for the week but fortunately it only rained one day! So we went birdwatching...four times...in fact it is so easy to go birdwatching as Heacham is by the sea and ducks walk alonside dogs in the village!








We went twice to Titchwell, the RSPB reserve, they improved the walk and did some digging and trimming round the banks..everything looked very new!


 
 In Wells-next-the Sea, we saw this baby cormoran, so cute lol!


 Our last day was spent in the butterfly and wildlife centre near Sutton Bridge. It was  such a challenge to photograph elusive butterflies in the tropical garden. In the end, I cheated and filmed them. There were  four iguanas relaxing and watching you incognito.
 





One of the eagles caused a bit of turmoil as he never came back..not unusual. However they still held a 'handling birds of prey' show. I do find the barn owl so beautiful, don't you?

Dear Nicky,
The pictures are exquisite! I love owls. We have some owls that occassionaly stay in a big sycamore tree behind our house. Such magnificent creatures.
God bless you!
