A unique site with a superb record of rarities
Blakeney Point is an amazing spit branching out into the North Sea. It is a National Trust reserve as well as protected by a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). With Norfolk’s reputation for gathering rare birds, especially from across the North Sea, this site is a must for visiting at several times of the year. It is not just spring and autumn migrants that are found here, but the area is important for its breeding birds, with Sandwich and Little Terns and the odd Common and Arctic to look for.
