My annual leave year finishes each September and faced with the option of using it or using it, I decided to take a two-day visit to Norfolk. The first day would be around the north-west coast line before I headed east for a day at Yarmouth Racecourse (My 51st in the UK). 

It seemed like a long time since I'd been birding along the coast road and it was a pleasurable experience. I visited three separate locations and my sightings were as follows:-
