King’s Lynn in Multiple Moods

Sharing a large quantity of photographs taken in the last two days in and around King’s Lynn.

I did two walks during the daytime yesterday, visited my sister and nephew for supper in the evening. I have also done a very long walk this morning, taking full advantage of weather that was genuinely pleasant by December standards – it started to rain lightly near the end of the walk, but I got over two hours worth of dry weather before the rain came.

These excursions provided me with a very large photo gallery – once I had finished the editing process there were 150 pictures there. As well as pretty much all the regular bird sightings I managed to get pictures of a dunnock and a common sandpiper (the latter was near the mouth of the Nar this morning).

This afternoon has been unyieldingly grim, and this being December even at 4PM the such daylight as there was is already beginning to fade.

Enjoy a bumper gallery (and don’t forget to click to view pictures at larger size)…

Sunday morning pics…
The dunnock. In size and build it is not dissimilar to a sparrow, but the colouring is very different.
Sunday afternoon pictures…
This new building…
…was inspired by this much older one opposite it.
Sunday night pics.
I got a picture of the train fully lit up at the third attempt.
Todays pictures start here.
The official start of King’s Lynn coming in from the southeast of the town.
In olden times this was the southern edge of the town.
A stretch of the Nar – this river has its source near the town of East Dereham, close to the centre of Norfolk.
Two cormorants with wings outstretched simultaneously.
Lapwings in triangular formation at the waters edge (the far side of the Great Ouse from me).
The common sandpiper, which features in five images in total.
