Potter Heigham footpath

Wrapping up warm against the bitter east wind , we parked up at St Nicholas church Potter Heigham, carrying on down the West side of the church we headed for the woods at the end of this path,a welcoming break from the cutting wind.Blackthorn were struggling to come into bud, something to look forward to when we eventually get Spring.Only a few birds were chattering, the rest were probably shivering in the bushes, much as we were.this path emerged from the woods and we could glance across Potter Heigham marshes , we were rewarded with great views of White Fronted Geese, diminuative against the larger Canadas and Greylag, well worth the hikein the cold.
Going to tick this walk as one of my favourites, look forward to doing it in warmer weather.Situated nearby is Hickling Nature Reserve, a large reserve with varied habitats , and sightings of Bittern, and Cranes, and also very good sightings in autumn( along a specific path) Bearded Tits.Also there are Konik ponies and Highland cattle.if you are ever in the area come and enjoy!!!
