Tuesday March 1
Dydd Gwyl Dewi. St David's Day. I wore my daffodil earrings and went to Natural Surroundings as usual. They should have been leeks. The welsh for leeks is cenin. The welsh for a daffodil is Cenin Pedr, Peter's leeks Prettier, and a lot better smelling as a buttonhole.
After an enjoyable drink and a chat, we drove to Morston, where the tide was as low as I've ever seen it. Part of the channel was empty of water. The expected Redshanks, Curlew, Herring Gulls,
and Little Egret, graced the muddy creek. The Egret is beginning to come into its breeding finery.
Blakeney duck pond contains both wild and farmed birds. It does give the opportunity for some photography of British birds, whilst dodging the wire fence, trees, bird houses and exotics.
Driving through Cley, we reached Babcock Hide, and found a large flock of Brent Geese in a field opposite. The road is wide and straight here, we parked. Eventually, the Red-breasted Goose made a March appearance for us. It's amazing how well such a brightly coloured bird can hide amongst a sea of black and white. I managed a couple of photos, through Pam's side window.
Photos have now been added to my previous post.
