Norfolk Broads National Park.
"In the autumn and winter, the wild-fowl flying southward and westward in search of less rigorous climes are arrested by the projection of the Norfolk coast, and see beneath them, but a few miles inland, the gleaming surface of lagoon and river, and vast expanses of reed-beds. If they flew all England over, they could find no spot so fit for them as this district of marsh and shallow, lake and reed ; so down they drop, and stay until the spring lures them back to their more northern breeding-places."
