Morston Salt Marsh

We had a very foggy journey to North Norfolk for a WFS meet at Morston Key. The day was specifically to look at Glassworts. It turn out to be very successful as we saw all the British species plus a hybrid, as well as other interesting plants. After an ice-cream, we had a wonder round the church and adjoining fields which also revealed more new plants, such as night-flowering catchfly. We then came back along the coast stopping at Snettisham RSPB reserve. The sun-set and the masses of birds on the sea made it very magically. Stopped on the outskirts of Kings Lynn for a meal before coming home very tired.
