点评:We visited the marshes as we were holidaying in the area and this would be a relatively new experience for us, we’ve watched and spotted birds across the U.K. but never in an environment like Cley, so we were quite excited to go. The centre offer all day parking and access to the hides and for two people it came to £11 (unsure how the costs divvy up), they have bathrooms, a shop and a cafe and it’s a great reprieve from the wind.
We went over to hides 1-3 to see the birds and having never visited marshlands before we were enjoying the scenery and talking to volunteers etc (there’s a migratory toad season) and there were a few handful of people who can only be described as ‘competitive birdwatchers’ who huffed and puffed at any one who wasn’t clearly a pro, to the extent that when a beginners tour joined the hide we were in, they complained and instantly left. It was really disappointing to see this from other members of the birdwatching community.
Whilst I understand that some people take their hobbies very seriously, birdwatching or even a basic interest in nature is for everybody and everybody is welcome regardless of years of involvement etc. you don’t need anything to see birds other than a warm coat and some patience!
翻译:我们在该地区度假时参观了沼泽,这对我们来说是一种相对较新的体验,我们在英国各地观察和发现过鸟类,但从未在像克莱这样的环境中见过,所以我们很兴奋去。该中心提供全天停车场和兽皮通道,两个人需要 11 英镑(不确定如何分摊费用),他们有浴室、商店和咖啡馆,这是避风的好地方。
我们去了 1-3 号隐藏地看鸟,在欣赏风景和与志愿者交谈等之前从未去过沼泽地(有蟾蜍迁徙季节),有几个人只能被描述为“竞争激烈的观鸟者对任何显然不是专业人士的人吹毛求疵,以至于当初学者加入我们所在的隐蔽处时,他们抱怨并立即离开。从观鸟社区的其他成员那里看到这一点真是令人失望。
虽然我知道有些人非常认真地对待自己的爱好,但观鸟甚至对大自然的基本兴趣是每个人都可以接受的,无论参与多年等等,每个人都受到欢迎。除了一件温暖的外套和一些东西之外,您不需要任何东西就可以看到鸟类。耐心!
