Fulmars Seeing Seabirds around the Norfolk coast is not difficult , but the cliffs at Hunstanton would not claim to offer the sheer spectacle of the breeding colonies of the Yorkshire coast, the noise and the smell of which have to be experienced to be believed !!! The Autumn of 2007 was a fabulous year for Seawatching on the Norfolk Coast, even including a few Puffins among the Gannets, Auks, Skuas, Shearwaters,Terns Kittiwakes and other Gulls that streamed past ,but Puffins really do deserve to be seen performing ,up close and personal as they do on their breeding grounds.
Living in Bedford I am fortunate enough to be able to spend a lot of time on the Norfolk Coast, based around Snettisham and Holme. Most of my photos are likely to come from Norfolk but Bedfordshire does throw up some surprises occasionally, including our best Garden bird, my first Firecrest, feeding on bushes 15 feet from the back window.
