Cley Marshes Nature Reserve

1/4/2010

Ellen and I went to the Cley marshes, which has either just opened or we have ignored its potential to be a fun day out. Cley marshes is a RSPB nature reserve ( I think) situated - unsurprisingly - in Cley marshes.  There are man made ponds surrounded by bird hides for avid nature fans to sit and observe the birds that flock to the marshland. There is also an observation deck, restaurant and education centre that sits above the marshland for people who don't want to explore but would rather stay inside.

 Ellen and I we spent a couple of hours traipsing the board walk that interconnects the bird hides and feeling very claustrophobic as the surrounding corn-y stuff was taller than us.

We then hid in the bird hides for a while and perved on some ducks sitting on nests. For the first time this year the weather was beautiful.

Inside the bird hide - it wasn't very comfortable!
