By the time we got up into Norfolk the weather had worsened to a mixture of rain and sleet and the waters at Strumpshaw were for the most part frozen over.
Never the less we took a walk around to the tower hide, Marsh Harriers popped up at regular intervals and there were some Great-crested Grebes on the river.
From the hide we had good views of a large gathering of wildfowl on the ice; Moorhen, Coot, Shoveler and Teal for the main. We then beat a hasty retreat back to the car for some warmth! But not before we had taken in a flighty Marsh Tit on the feeders.
