    James - turn north into the one-way system off the A149 opposite the only pub in Overy Staithe. Parking is on the hard immediately ahead, or on a small area further along the 'loop road'.

    Long walk ahead... Adam, The pallid harrier is unpredictable but appears best seen in the mornings. You'll need to park in the RSPB car park (signposted) just south of Shepherds Port which is to the west of the A149 at Snettisham. Walk to the southern end of the pits and view south from any...
