Norfolk ~ Monday 18th - Friday 22nd February 2013 ~
For quite some time Norfolk has been high on my list of places to visit and, after a lot of persuasive conversations with my parents and some not-so-subtle hint dropping, I finally booked a 5 day trip to the north Norfolk Coast during my February half term.
I visited lots of different sites, my favourites being Titchwell and Salthouse. Here are some shots from my fabulous trip:

Black-bellied Dipper. This bird has been frequenting the River Thet for some time so I jumped at the chance when I got the opportunity to visit it! |

Apologies if you're getting bored of this bird but this image illustrates the issue of waste polluting our rivers. In this image, the Black-bellied Dipper is perched on what appears to be a crisp packet. |

Snowdrops were numerous on the bank of the River Thet and I had to be very careful not to damage them while photographing the Black-bellied Dipper. |

Seeing my first Hare in Norfolk was a real privilege, but when this individual let me commando-crawl within 10 metres I just couldn't believe how camouflaged and well adapted they are! |

Normally I can never get close to Bar-tailed Godwits, however the birds at Titchwell were very obliging. |

At Salthouse lots of Black-headed Gulls joined the Turnstones and Snow Buntings that were feeding on seed, metres from our car (hide). |

A nice surprise came in the shape of this Purple Sandpiper that was associating with the Turnstones in the car park at Salthouse. |

One of the many Snow Buntings that came down to feast on the seed put out for them. |
