Dune Fencing

Before leaving Suffolk we had a rather bracing, breezy and brisk walk on the beach at Walberswick definitely needing something to work off the fabulous breakfast.

This had, for me at any rate, been preceded by a very early start to trot round to a few hides on Minsmere Nature Reserve to try and spot the Bearded Tits which are supposed to live there all year round - allegedly! Thinking possibly third time lucky I struck out, carrying a big lens to walk a fair few miles but to no avail. It's a rare thing for me to come away from an expedition without getting my prey, so to speak. I think the strong wind was the major factor - what tiny bird in their right mind would want to be blown around the reed heads? Far more preferable to be snug and hiding!
