Birds seen at Cley Marshes nature reserve on 5th March 2024

It was drizzling in the morning during my second day on the North Norfolk coast, so I headed for Cley Marshes nature reserve where there are several bird hides in which to shelter.

There was a group of Avocets relaxing in the lagoon in front of one of the hides

After I left the hide, the birds were up in the air as they had been disturbed by a Marsh Harrier




A Redshank was wandering around one of the little islands in the lagoon

Then it decided it was time for a nap!

Here's another flight from a Marsh Harrier

Couple of male Shovelers passed one another on the lagoon

One decided to fly away

A group of Shovelers decided it was time to move on too

A Male Wigeon was having a bath
