A day well spent at one of North Norfolk’s beautiful nature reserves..🦩🦆🌿
One of the highlights of our visit was seeing some incredible wading birds up close, including elegant avocets, striking black-winged stilts, graceful black-tailed godwits, and the wonderfully distinctive ruffs.
We were also lucky enough to spot the elusive bearded t**s, a real treat for birdwatchers.
We wandered through the beautiful Biosonification Garden, a peaceful space where art, science and nature come together. The garden has been designed to encourage visitors to experience the sounds, rhythms and biodiversity of the natural world in a more mindful way, creating a calming and immersive environment that’s unlike anywhere else in Norfolk.
Along the way we also discovered beautiful stone art & sculptures, all wildlife-inspired. We admired the colourful flamingos, and couldn’t help but smile as ducklings, goslings and curious jackdaws wandered freely around the reserve looking for their next hand out of food.
There is so much more to enjoy here.
Whether you’re a keen birdwatcher, a nature enthusiast, or a family looking for a wholesome day out in North Norfolk, Pensthorpe is a place you’ll want to visit.
It’s just a short drive away from FlockCottage and it’s a haven for wildlife lovers, families, photographers and anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. 🗺️🌿
