Earlier I had spent a bit of time watching the Branta flock in the Cley Eye Field. The Red-breasted Goose was on fine form, vocal and feisty as ever. A Black Brant appeared for a few seconds then evaporated, while a Pale-bellied Brent showed a little better. These geese have illuminated Norfolk's winter; a lot of people will miss them when they're gone.

No other creature consistently gives me such an adrenalin rush.
