Cantley or Buckenham marshes ? (1 Viewer)

Pete007

Well-known member
I shall be travelling upto Norfolk this weekend (Feb 8th) and would like to take the opportunity to photograph the Norfolk geese if possible.
I have been advised Lady Anne Drive in Holkham would be good for Pink feet, but if time allows I would also like to visit either Buckenham or Cantley marshes as well.
Out of the two which generally would offer the better options for actually photographing the geese ?
I realise its subjective and changes from day to day but given the choice ?

Any help or advice much appreciated - Thanks
 
Hi Pete.

I probably wouldn't bother going to Buckenham/Cantley and would spend more time in the Holkham area. The geese tend to be quite distant at Buckenham/Cantley, and as the Bean geese have gone there would only be a small flock of White-fronted Geese and some Pink-feet. I don't know about this year, but there are usually White-fronted Geese from the Joe Jordan Hide at Holkham.
