Totally worth waking up at 3:00 AM ๐๐ชถ
Watching thousands of waders twist and turn in perfect harmony as the tide rolls in, they really know how to put on a show.

75 years ago today, on 17th November 1950, it was 22 year old Tom Rout's turn to be ploughing a field in #Snettisham, Norfolk.

This lovely #IronAge bracelet comes from Ken Hill, #Norfolk. It is hollow & made from a sheet of gold-alloy. It was discovered in 1950 as part of a small hoard of Iron Age artefacts including 'The #Snettisham Great torc 50-150BC

I found an SD card with some photos I thought I had lost from a visit to RSPB Snettisham in March. These are Knot doing their murmuration. #snettisham #Nikon #wildlife #bbcspringwatch #Norfolk #RSPB #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography
All aboard!

My first blog post is now live, detailing my trip to Norfolk. I was in Wader Heaven for just under a week.

It wasn't all waders at Snettisham RSPB reserve but also good to see GANNET, WHEATEAR, SANDWICH TERNS and up to three EUROPEAN TURTLE DOVES, one of which showed rather well! #BirdsSeenIn2025 #norfolkbirding #snettisham #norfolk #birds #birding

Back to back days guiding at Snettisham RSPB reserve last week where the wader spectacular left all our clients mesmerised. There sheer numbers of birds were mind blowing! #BirdsSeenIn2025 #norfolkbirding #snettisham #norfolk #waders #birding

The Wader Spectacle at RSPB Snettisham yesterday morning! @swallowbirding.bsky.social #Birds #Birding #Snettisham #UKBirding #WildlifePhotography
Just a few of the 42 (yeah forty bloody two !!) Spoonbills that took flight over Snettisham Beach to forage the mudflats yesterday afternoon

The Snettisham torc c.20cm across made with hollow donut terminalsand 64 wires wound into a hollow coiled neck ring
One of the Snettisham tubular torcs, 20cm across and hollow.
Fun fact for Sunday.
The gold used to make one Snettisham Great torc (that cube in the centre, c.4cm x 4cm x 4cm, which weighs 1084g) would make ten of the tubular torcs found at Snettisham (which weigh c.110g)
Tubular torcs - more bang for your buck! ๐

Frustrating couple of hours at #Snettisham yesterday evening looking for the #GreenishWarbler
2 brief glimpses of what was probably the bird only. Lovely evening to be there though.
#Snettisham Good day out with @richiegannon.bsky.social
Eventually clear but distant views of White-rumped Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Spoonbill x25, Turtle Dove heard and seen, Clouded Yellow. Bonus Turtle Dove o.w.

Thank you Dave :). Iโm in another one right now. #snettisham
A golden object - end of a Torc. It has eyes, nose, mouth & outline of a face.
Torc end, with a golden face.
Ken Hill, #Snettisham, #Norfolk
100 BCE
Face design was created by hammering the back to create the raised image.
The Torc was then produced from the single sheet of curled & flattened gold.
Deliberately damaged before placed in ground.

Playmobil Druid and Asterix burying gold torcs.
Whilst setting up a #PlaymobilInfestation post this morning set in the bog garden, I noticed one of my Boudica figures missing her torc - interesting scenario - either lost in the bog to excite future Playmobil archaeologistsโฆor the Druid was involvedโฆ
