RSPB Snettisham Murmuration Spectacular

Strictly speaking, according to the 'dictionary' a Murmuration is a flock of starlings, but some dictionaries say a murmuration is ....

'a large group of birds, usually starlings, that all fly together and change direction together, or the act of birds doing this'

Anyway, it happened yesterday as Sue and I where visiting RSPB Snettisham getting on towards late afternoon. We knew it was coming up to high tide and this 'pushes' the birds up towards the walkway where we could see the birds (and take photos). We had not expected to see this spectacular.

There were quite a few 'Birdwatchers' there at the time. The birds doing this were waders, and I think Oystercatchers.

This was also a chance to use my new lens a Canon 100-400mm mkii that I had bought from a friend at the camera club just a few days before :)

RSPB Titchwell Marsh

Day 5 of our Norfolk Break with the Cambridge Camera Club. We visited RSPB Titchwell Marsh. This reserve is situated between Hunstanton and Wells Next the Sea. In all the years Sue and I have stayed / camped around this are we have never visited this reserve - very strange!

Its a really nice reserve. A number of hides overlooking the marshes. Woodland trail and much more. From the Cafe its about a 30minute walk down to the sea with lots to see on the way.

Insects and Birds - A wet trip to RSPB Lakenheath

Members of the RPS Nature Group met up for a days photography at RSPB Lakenheath back on the 13th June.

It was a wet day, but enjoyable.

Water Drops - RPSB Lakenheath
