A very busy week as our son and his girlfriend were moving into one of the reserve cottages and we were staying in one of the holiday cottages whilst we spruced the place up.
View from Barnacle Cottage.
We did, however, manage a couple of walks around this beautiful RSPB reserve.
Entrance to the circular path around the reserve.

Thousands of Barnacle Geese on the reserve at the moment, they came flying in every morning and woke us up!
Barnacle Cottage, this cottage can be rented throughout the year along with Shelduck Cottage, I would thoroughly recommend as they are very warm and comfortable!
Frosty morning
