With work completed for the day I took advantage of the glorious weather and lengthening evenings, and headed north to the birding Mecca of Cley. I've got so many happy memories of this coastline, I'm overwhelmed by nostalgia everytime I visit, and have mixed emotions of excitement and anticipation, and sadness for bygone times. To quote the bard of the Village"I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast".
Looking west over the reedbed at Cley, and the East Bank, the most famous birding walk in Britain.
