\"Beach<\/a><\/p>\n

Spent the jubilee long bank holiday in North Norfolk, visiting\u00a0Bird sanctuaries and spending some time on the beach. Went to the RSPB site, Titchwell Marsh in the pouring rain and winds, but saw avocets and possibly a marsh harrier, along with the usual gulls, common terns, oystercatchers and ducks. The only bunting was a reed bunting. Then Wells-next-the-sea for a day of walking – first down the beach to Holkham, then into the village for a look around and hot doughnuts (still too cold for ice cream!) No bunting. Well, a little bunting. But no royalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
