Snettisham RSPB Reserve

Snettisham Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve, Norfolk, UK

Welcoming committee:)


The path to the reserve is through some private fishing lakes. Note the ropes dividing the "pitches"


This is also a fishing lake, but much more open


and the birds don't mind that it's a lake for fishermen only


Further along the path, we walk alongside a lagoon, the other side of which are some beach houses


Most of the beach houses have boats, but I did think this one was rather big for such a small lagoon


We cross over the lagoon - this is looking down it's length
 towards Snettisham itself


Eventually, we reach the beach - yes, there is sea out there somewhere!


Some old sea defences show the power of the sea out here when it's not so calm as today

more sea defence remains


out past the path to the RSPB reserve, there were these old buildings..... not too sure what they are...

Walking on, the path takes us under an arch of trees


and then back across the lagoons towards the sea
