Take a boat trip to see the Blakeney Point seals from Morston, there are several companies who do these lovely trips. We went on a trip with Bishop's Boats who we telephoned beforehand to reserve 4 seats and collected our tickets at Blakeney. We had a wonderful time getting close to the inquisitive seals whilst being given information about the different types of seals and birds by the very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

This popular reserve on the north Norfolk coast has something for everyone. A walk from the visitor centre down to the sandy beach takes you past reedbeds and shallow lagoons, which are often full of birds. You can sit on benches or watch from spacious, wheelchair-accessible hides.
In summer, marsh harriers float over the reeds, where bearded tits nest. On the lagoons are avocets, gulls and terns. In autumn and winter you can see up to 20 species of wading birds and lots of ducks and geese.
Visit the shop with its selection of RSPB gifts and books and a large selection of telescopes and binoculars. They have a cafe with outside and inside eating areas selling hot and cold food and drinks, as well as snacks and locally-made cakes. There are volunteers who are happy to tell you if there are any unusual birds at the reserve as are most birdwatchers who in my experience are more than happy to let you look through their 'scopes' which have been focused on an interesting bird!
