Thanks OP

Van in for service 2nd Oct and remains of hurricane due 1st week of Oct so second week is looking favourable.

We stayed at Cakes and Ale last time which is near Titchwell. Looked at Sycamore which is just up the road, so another option is welcome if we make it over.

I thought that the Cake and Ale campsite was close to Minsmere, unless there is another one.  I stay at a CL called Fishers Field which is really good and gas 2 hard standings, 2 wet rooms, pub a short stroll away.  I will hopefully be staying there sometime in October.  

Good trip to Minsmere today, plenty of bearded tit activity and a bittern in flight.  Limited where we could go due to a lot of areas not wheelchair friendly.

Cariadon, we saw the 3 seal pups at Cwmtydu today and a couple of adult ones too, one on the shore and another in the next cwn to the north. Spotted what I took to be Merlin passing overhead as we walked the coastal path, but it was too fast for me to be sure; definitely not a Kestral.

Funnily enough, NTH, we also saw a Merlin today whilst walking around Orford Ness. Also saw a Lesser Whitethroat, Spotted Redshank, both Chats and a lovely unidentified Spider. (Hope the weather's keeping up for you.)
