Janey , have you been down here and didn't tell me ?? I thought of you yesterday because we were at Blakeney and I know you enjoyed your holiday spent there ....
I shall have stern words with Tuffers , Mrs Mute Swan and Pete the Pochard for not flying over and telling me you were here . ;o(

Thanks for all the great comments.......just a bit of fun on a cold snowy day, really pleased you enjoyed it.......:o)

We visited here yesterday, when Spring seemed to be on the way. the water birds were enjoying the sunshine and little Tuffers looked so cute and happy like his namesake...Lol!

Lol Amy...this is about 20mins away......like a tiny Norfolk Broads.....

I bet your pusscat puppies would love for them to nest at yours Dawn...keep them busy for hours...Lol

That's right Cat...most appropriate!!.....:o)

Lovely picasJaney, and enjoyed the commentary...Barton Broad is a beautiful broad.....have been across it many times!

You mean to say there's another one Janey besides our Norfolk one , sounds like it should come under the trades discription act to me ...LOL.. . it looks just like ours !

Thanks Alice!

You remember my blog on the Humber Bridge and Waters Edge Amy....this is the same place at Barton upon Humber.........only small ponds on the edge of the Humber...........

Yes Janey , I remember , you have so many interesting places near you ... :o)

That's the great thing about the UK, it's so diverse and if you look around there are pockets of wonder big and small everywhere.

"Birds of a feather" Catfinch ;-)

Good pics and captions, Janey.
Well done :o)

Lokks like a lovely place Janey,but have never been there.Your photo's are brilliant,and your captions too.Really enjoyed this...:o))

As well as all the beautiful birds I was fascinated by all the different colours/textures of the water - No.s 6 and 11 reminded me of marbled paper in old books. I'm glad your guide showed his 'arty' side with the reeds and catkins photos - lovely!!! and enjoyed his observations on his pondmates, lol.

What a lovely blog with great commentary. Wonderful photos. The finishing touch was the catkins. A blog full of joy, thank you Janey.

A brilliant blog and photos enjoyed it very much..

Very interesting and lovely blog, Janey! And so many beautiful birds' pictures! Thank you for sharing...

Thanks very much everyone....:o)))

Wagger, when I looked at the pics...I thought just the same...the water was amazing....reflections of different reeds and plants....:o)

thanks throughly enjoyed that blog brilliant pics well done!

Another fantastic blog, Janey! I loved all the "actors" too! :-) I have taken some pictures of the swans on our stretch of the river here together with a few Mallard ducks & some seagulls. I really love to watch the swans. I saw the "kids" from last year have almost shed their juvenile plumage, they look fantastic!

Thanks Lemondog and Balcony.......I think that was the first bright day we had had since Xmas, and the water birds were really enjoying the sun even though it was very cold. The swan there took off right above us, and the sound was amazing, the power of those wings just incredible! They really are beautifully regal aren't they Balcony....nice to hear you have youngsters there...is that the river Cam??
