I know some dream of a stairway to heaven. I'd rather have this:
That's the boardwalk on the way to the hides at Cley bird reserve, yesterday.
This was looking from Blakeney towards Cley yesterday. There were curlews all around as I took that one.
And I will not acknowledge that this is not a great photo, but I was caught off guard by several thousand pink-footed geese. This was by no means all of them:
And then, before setting out for an early coffee this morning, the view of Blakeney harbour:
The sign in the water warns that the car park may flood. Ne'er a truer word was put in the public domain.

The beauty of nature! Water, the condition for life is endlessly fascinating.
And then the melancholic cry of the curlew…
Oh, I envy you!
Thanks for the photos.
Spent a lovely week in Wells-next-the-Sea in early September this year and visited the Cley reserve, wonderful place. Glad you managed to get some quality time away from the day job Richard!
Lovely part of the world.
Friends used to live in Cley many years ago.
Had quite a few good weekends there, walking back to their house by torchlight from the George and Dragon.
I will visit that pub this weekend, I have no doubt.
Beautiful shots! I am off out to out lovely bird/nature reserve at Aberlady Bay early next week, weather permitting. Not sure if we yet have our wintering visitors so much further north, but on my last visit I felt truly blessed to watch a short-eared owl quartering a meadow – never seen that bird before. Happy birding!
Great bird. A wnter visitor in the main, and an owl that is out in the day. Enjoy.
There have been plenty of geese flying over my house today, 5 miles from Aberlady as the goose flies. Too high to identify.
Interesting – the weather for Monday looks pretty decent so hopefully we’ll get out then. My ultimate ‘goose goal’, if you like, is an autumn trip to Islay – I believe the ‘arrival’ of the massed skeins truly is a sight to behold.
See my post not long ago of a recording of a skein of 5,000 + pinkfoots this afternoon.
