Local Attractions


Among the attractions of this stretch of Norfolk's coastline are the birds which visit throughout the year.  By far the busiest time of the year for bird watching in Norfolk is the Winter with over a third of a million birds Wintering here.  Vast skeins of pink-footed geese from Iceland arrive in Norfolk to spend the coldest months.  More than 40% of the world's bird population can be present - an incredible 90,000 birds.  This is by far the best time to visit The Wash, the UK's primary estuary for wild birds.  Walk around the Snettisham RSPB nature reserve and see vast swarms of Knot and perhaps a Hunting Barn Owl.  Wintering birds of prey which can be seen hunting on the wing including Hen Harriers, Merlin and Peregrine.
