23/09/2020-Part 2: Sheringham, windmill at Weybourne and Holkham: 10 more separate photos to those tweeted 

Following on my last post about our Norfolk adventures today we then all moved onto Sheringham as the weather continued to stay mostly dry and brightened a little. This is a friendly and nice looking seaside town where we got to do a classic coastal walk going up a rare for the county tall cliff by the the golf course. The place had such great vibes. I took the first five pictures in this photoset here today. 

Wildlife wise it was nice to see another Grey Seal swimming in the sea which looked very nice a great view. We got very close to House Sparrows. Cormorants were numerous as were gull species and as we had ice cream always great to have on a holiday and a takeaway cup of tea on the seafront we spotted Turnstones on the beach area and saw a Grey Heron flying over which was nice. Another very pleasant place to visit. 

We took in another great windmill this week at Weybourne on the way back from Sheringham which I tweeted a picture of. 

We ended the day going to Holkham near to Wells Woods which we had heard a lot about. It made a very nice place to walk and walking out through woods and onto a beach going through a mudflat area to get there made for some great views again. I took the sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth pictures in this photoset of this. Another lovely coastal habitat to take in. But what made this little evening walk very memorable was a storm moving in! We firstly saw a dark dark sky one of the darkest I’ve ever seen over the sea behind the beach this shown in the eighth picture I took in this photoset tonight. Then came touches of thunder and lightning and then the downpour with the winds just starting as we drove off. A great flat and open landscape to observe a storm from with wonderful photo opportunities. 

Wildlife Sightings Summary: (Sheringham) Turnstone, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Black-headed Gull with one memorably swimming on a little boating lake, Herring Gull, House Sparrow and Feral Pigeon. (Holkham) One of my favourite birds the Buzzard, Kestrel, Curlew, Cormorant, Black-beaded Gull, Herring Gull and a flock of small birds and then a dragonfly which I didn’t see well or for long enough to see what.
