Friday July 8
We fancied doing some birding after a few days of regular and heavy, squally showers. Cley won - until Pam remembered en route that Tony had said that the scrapes were being worked on. No machinery in sight - no water either - dry brown mud. North Scrape had water, we saw birds fly in there.
A strange 'sculpture' has appeared on the reserve, viewable from the roadside. A very tall and crooked ladder ! Art?

Dead calm sea at Coastguards, belying the brisk wind. A group of 24 Scoter flew through to add to the usual tern passage - not many of those either. Shortly before we left, a mass of birds lifte for no obvious reason. Amongst them were three Grey Herons, thirty plus Black-tailed Godwits and, ten Spoonbills.
Still no ice-cream van.......have they given up on us? They had been complaining about the competition from Salthouse Post Office shop and Cley deli.
Home to pick, pod and freeze peas in between showers, not as frequent to-day though.
