Thornham Harbour Norfolk Wildlife Trust by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve..The Holme Dunes NNR includes the whole of Ragged Marsh salt marsh, and extends south to include all of Thornham Harbour where it lies beside Staithe Lane. It can be accessed via the Coast Path near the visitor centre (but not easily, if at all, in a wheelchair), or from Thornham village by car. Thornham Harbour is an excellent birding venue, with waders and wildfowl on the seaward side, birds such as wheatears, twite and linnets mainly on the landward side, and marsh harriers almost ever-present over the grazing marshes

Salt Marsh @ Thornham Norfolk... by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Thornham Harbour where it lies beside Staithe Lane. It can be accessed via the Coast Path near the visitor centre (but not easily, if at all, in a wheelchair), or from Thornham village by car. Thornham Harbour is an excellent birding venue, with waders and wildfowl on the seaward side, birds such as wheatears, twite and linnets mainly on the landward side, and marsh harriers almost ever-present over the grazing marshes. Increasingly red kite are present overhead, too. Besides the birding, the spectacle of the harbour and saltmarsh being completely covered by the sea at high spring tides is an attraction in itself.

Meadow Pipit by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Meadow pipits can be difficult to spot as their plumage often blends into surrounding vegetation. They have olive-brown upperparts, with broad black streaks on the head, mantle and back. The upperwing is darker with pale edges. Meadow pipits’ tails are dark brown with a green fringe, they have paler underparts, and the underwing is whitish. They have slender bills which are dark brown with a pale base. Eyes are dark brown, and their legs and feet are yellow-brown with a long hind claw. Male and female meadow pipits look similar while juveniles are browner with paler underparts. Their streaks are also not as dark

"Bird on a Wire"...Norfolk by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Meadow pipit..The meadow pipit is a common nesting bird of moorland, heathland and rough grassland. In the autumn and winter, it moves out of upland areas to lowlands where it gathers in small flocks and can be found on farmland and saltmarshes. In the spring, it performs a fluttering, 'parachute' display flight. There are 2 million breeding territories in the UK

Black-headed gull by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Not really a black-headed bird, more chocolate-brown - in fact, for much of the year, it has a white head. It is most definitely not a 'seagull' and is found commonly almost anywhere inland. Black-headed gulls are sociable, quarrelsome, noisy birds, usually seen in small groups or flocks, often gathering into larger parties where there is plenty of food, or when they are roosting

"Little Cottage Garden" by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Burnham Market is an English village and civil parish near the north coast of Norfolk. Burnham Market is one of the Burnhams, a group of adjacent villages. It results from a merger of three original villages: Burnham Sutton, Burnham Ulph and Burnham Westgate.

Creeks @ Thornham Norfolk by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: We were soon off along the coastal path heading towards Holme, and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust's reserve at Holme Dunes. At Thornham harbour – really just a few boats moored to some rather ramshackle looking landing stages – the marshes stretch either side of the road that leads to a small raised car park once the site of a large grain store. The channel was deeper then, and much larger boats than the few pleasure craft now here could access this far inland. Not so long ago farming supported most of the communities near here, and the ability for fairly substantial vessels to be able to transport the crop pretty much anywhere must have been invaluable. If you don’t mind getting muddy – and I do mean muddy – you can gather a crop of your own here; samphire
