Like Gower a lot of the North Norfolk coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Once again having such wide open beaches allowed me to dabble in my favourite pastime of some cloud photography. I always take images of clouds usually because I am waiting for something else to happen. Here I had the dramatic clouds I wanted, but this time there were no geese around!
Earlier on in the day I managed to get this image of a female Wheatear. Once again she was relatively tame due to being used to birdwatchers. By slowly following her around at about a 10 metre distance, she got used to my presence and then quite happily came closer to me while feeding. She posed nicely for a few seconds and then flew off. My time was up. I left her alone and moved on. I found that in the evening a Kestrel patrolled along the edge of the shoreline, and typically when?it hovered just above me, my camera was fitted with an extreme wide angle lens and pointing in the wrong direction! I still managed to make an image by quickly remounting my 500mm lens, but it is still not there yet with an award winning shot.
