    Great shots. I bet I would have missed everything apart from the blackbirds.

    Wonderful photos and good to see pictures of Cley Marsh. We had a long weekend in Norfolk in March a few years ago and the weather was awful. All I saw of Cley Marsh was from the Visitor Centre!! Hope to return one day.
