Linda's son Simon and his delightful partner Jo live in Cromer: we were invited to spend a day with them birding and fossiling on the beach. Meeting in the Visitor Centre car park at Cley, we walked around the reserve and along the East Bank. To be honest, there was very little to excite us, and we decided to drive the short distance to 'Natural Surroundings' at Bayfield Hall. While we enjoyed our coffee, we were treated to the usual close views of Coal Tits, Nuthatches and the usual suspects on the feeders.
After lunch we carried on to Cromer, walking down a long flight of steps through the cliffside woods to the beach. (Sad to see that the 'Banksey' has completely gone) We spent a very pleasant hour finding fossil belemnites (and in my case a beautiful Neolithic side scraper)
We walked back to the cars past Cromer Church (where we enjoyed terrific views of one of the resident Peregrines) to Jo and Simon's house for a final cup of tea.
