16th January 2025, the forecast wasn’t brilliant, but at least no rain and a well-behaved wind. So we hopped a bus into Norwich – and sat upon it, unmoving, for the next 2 hours, thanks to a road accident. When eventually we got off, we stretched our legs and headed off down the lane to Whitlingham. The morning fog had relented and now was thick mist! But come along with us. Enjoy.
As is our way on this walk we popped into Trowse woods to see if we could find anything interesting to snap. Being so late beginning we didn’t stay long. Then we continued along the lane.
When you don’t know what you’re going to see (or if you’ll see in this mist) you tend to click at any interesting sight… loved this golden foliage
And hey, a Great Egret (which required the fullness of my camera’s zoom)
With the lake veiled in mist, the water birds took full advantage of my lens
Such wonderful characters. The onsite cafe sells proper duck and swan food for visitors to feed them, so despite being wild birds they are used to us folks
Reeds, water, misty trees. Yea, I’ll stick with the birds
Above a timid Little Egret. Below a Tufted Duck
I relented and took another shot of the lake!
Hope you enjoyed despite the mist. More photos from this walk in Tuesday Treats

Thanks Frank. Anywhere else I have to take my chances to get a fleeting click. But here, so many birds, if at first you don’t success, you can always try again.

I love mist, but the birds are wonderful.

There were loads of tufted ducks and a few pochard. And of course the ubiquitous mallards and gulls. But as ever, the swans and egrets stole the day!
