May 8th

These images are of Blakeney harbour and Wells harbour, purely because I thought they were both very pretty, picturesque places to capture. I was pleased to get this little Yellow Wagtail on the grassy slopes of Hunstanton cliffs from the car window..... as we were travelling back one early evening.

My Mallard ducks have decided that I should feed them at 5 a.m. !.....on seeing the little ducklings, I have not got the heart not to, besides the sun is already up and beckoning.....We walked along the beach at Hunstanton and I took some images of the Fulmars perched against the burnt orange cliffs.....wonderful, quiet and peaceful (apart from the cries of the Fulmars of course) Everyday I have passed this field at Burnham, where three horses are kept, so I have been feeding them apples everday, I think they are expecting me now (or it might be wishful thinking).

Apr 28th Creake Abbey.

This was a quaint little place I came across called Creake Abbey.....in the lovely village of North Creake. The Abbey was first used as a small hospital and almshouse which was attached to a church.....known as St. Mary of the Meadows in 1206. Thirteen poor men were to recieve food, clothing and shelter. In 1231 Henry the 111 raised the status of the priory to that of Abbey. Much of the church was destroyed by a raging fire in 1408, unfortunately, soon afterwards a plague killed everyone.....the sole survivor being the Abbot....he later died in 1506. I really enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere.....nearby was a lovely babbling stream......it was idylic.....postcard perfect !

Apr 27th Norfolk.

Woke up at 10 past 7 this morning to a really sunny day and the sound of quacking outside the caravan.....I was greeted by the sight of a female Mallard duck and her little ducklings as soon as I opened the window.......what a wonderful vision to see first thing! Our excurtions took us to Blackney first...where I took the images of the Red Crested Pochard and the Mandarin Duck...these were taken in a Wildfowl collection.........As w drove past Burnham, I happened to see two Deer running in a field, I only managed to capture one on film though. Looming black clouds.....and rain stopped play! But there is always tomorrow....

Apr 26th Norfolk.

Holidaying for a week in Norfolk.....beautiful place, beautiful scenery and a wide variety of stunning birdlife. For our first day we went to Titchwell RSPB NR....I captured the Pheasant on top of one of the picnic tables....too good a shot to miss !En route, I also took images of the windmill, Avocet and harbour at Thornham before the clouds and showers decided to descend on us.....I hope to capture more images tomorrow (weather permitting)....forever hopeful !!

Apr 20th Moore NR.

Went to Moore NR this afternoon...it was a really hot day( well, the hottest day so far. )I had a leisurely, slow, saunter around trying to capture images of just some of God's little creatures. A very relaxing and satisfying afternoon......
