Summary
Our first destination on this short tour will be Cley Marshes, the premier reserve of the Norfolk Naturalists’ Trust and one of the most famous in Britain. Cley holds a wide range of exciting breeding birds including Bittern and Bearded Tit, and at the time of our visit it’s also a superb location for migrant waders such as Ruff and Garganey, and the scrub and wet fields are a magnet for migrant passerines. Our next stop is Holkham, where we’ll hope to get good views of Marsh Harrier and late winter waterfowl such as Brent Geese. Lastly we’ll spend a day exploring Breckland and the ancient Wayland Wood for Nightingale, Stone Curlew and the beautiful Golden Pheasant among other special birds.
