The north Norfolk coast is considered to have some of the best and varied bird watching in Britain. Virtually all this coastline is designated a Heritage coast and an area of outstanding natural beauty and is protected by various conservation bodies.

It offers a wide range of habitats from one of the largest areas of saltmarsh in Britain to pine forests. Bitterns, Avocets, Bearded Tits and Marsh Harriers are just some of the species that breed at Cley and Titchwell.

The winter brings huge numbers of geese and ducks and the area is renowned for the sighting of rare and uncommon birds as well as a large variety of breeding and migratory species
