Evening trip to Cley Marina

At the beginning of the 2010 MKF Blakeney weekend, The Gs and the Gatwick Ps went out in Zephyr under motor. It was an 8.0 tide so we couldn't use the Northeast Passage but had to join the Cley channel to the west of the Watch House. The wind was Easterly 1-2 so we had a gentle run back along the Cley channel and made a reasonable stab at reaching across from the Watch House. The trip was notable for wildlife. Notable sitings were:

• Shellducks with ducklings which dived and skimmed along the water in a very charming way
• Oystercatchers - some on nests probably
• Little Egrets
• Some unidentified bird of prey being mobbed by terns
