Last weekend for my dads birthday we went to two places in Norfolk. Pensthorpe and the Broads. The first day was the broads and we hired out an old looking boat that looked at if it was about to fall apart! We set of seeing great crested grebe and grey heron flew over. As my brother through some bread over for the the ducks another heron flew over. The birds where attracted by the bread and got some close views of mute swan and coot fighting.
The second day we went to Pensthorpe which is were spring watch was filmed a few years ago. we took a the opportunity to do a safari type tour around the the resurve seeing red legged partridge and skylarks singing high in the sky. We took a look at the scrapes seeing avocets, oystercatcher and common sandpiper.
It was a great weekend and would definitely recommend them to any visiting Norfolk.
