Titchwell Birds

Spring had truly arrived at Titchwell with birds in full song and migrants arriving including three very tired Dunlin who hadn't the energy to move away from us when we were down on the shore. The first images down to and including the scratching Dunlin had the 1.4 extender on the 100-400 lens. The quality is not as as without but does allow photos of distant birds for ID like the Little Stint at the end.

Starfish and Shells, Titchwell Beach

Although a few days off the spring tide, the sea went out far enough yesterday to expose lots of starfish-covered rocks. A few had got stranded on the sand but most were slowly moving on their tube feet back into the water. They feel amazingly soft compared with the dried specimens found on the shoreline. The top of the beach was covered in razor shells with other shells and marine ex-life. The posts are even more weathered than previous visits.

 

 

Sheringham Sunset

Sheringham is one of the sites along the coast where you can view the sunset over the sea so we headed there for what proved to be worth the car trip. There was a large party of school children enjoying the last light. My favourite is the fourth image - classic sunset image though perhaps needs bit cropped off right.

 

 

Cromer on a Perfect Spring Morning

We walked along the beach from East Runton to Cromer yesterday morning.After overnight rain the air was very clear with the light changing as the sun moved round. First image, a bit of in-camera fun followed by different sun and water images as the light changed, the pier from various angles (including a bendy panorama), a homage to 'White Van' and finally the Church.
