Highlights

  • A 3-day break to Norfolk, arguably the UK’s premier birding county!
  • Pink-footed Geese, Brent Geese, Pintail & numerous other wintering wildfowl
  • Scan for seaduck, divers & grebes
  • Wintering raptors such as Hen & Marsh Harriers, Merlin & Short-eared Owl
  • Look for rare wintering passerines including Shore Lark, Twite & Snow Bunting
  • Chance of something unusual such as Waxwing or Rough-legged Buzzard

Summary

Norfolk is widely acknowledged as England’s foremost ‘birding county’, and the winter months are a particularly exciting time to visit. At this season Norfolk’s extensive wetlands are teeming with large flocks of wintering geese, huge numbers of duck and hundreds of thousands of waders. On this short break we will explore the north Norfolk coast between Snettisham and Cley-next-the-Sea and go in search of the county's abundant and diverse birdlife. Norfolk also attracts some of the UK's more unusual winter visitors such as Rough-legged Buzzard, Snow Bunting, Shore Lark and Waxwing.
