Spring Movement

Pre-Lockdown and a look back at my last visit to the North Norfolk coast. I guess it was early Spring, but things were starting to move about and birds were starting to pair up. There was more birdsong to be heard and some birds that had not been around these parts were seen again.
I saw a lot more deer on this visit, than during the warmer summer months.I even caught out a family of Roe Deer, as they quietly ate their breakfast. Showing that it does pay to get out early and also to be quiet. You'll never know what you won't have seen had you just been a little more cautious.


This looks like one of the young. 


These Oystercatchers were enjoying the rich pickings left by the retreating sea. This one with a small crab.


Ringed Plover were busy scuttling along the sand.


This Skylark was singing from the ground. More usually seen singing on the wing.

  2. The ringed plover looks very similar to our semi-palates Oliver's here in America. I really enjoyed seeing the oystercatcher with it's catch of the day.
