| 17 | 04/01/2020 | 11:00:00 | Saturday | King\'s Lynn Joint Advisory Group | Terrington | 1 | Walkers & Dogs | A couple was on the Terrington Marsh with a dog off the lead. They did not disturb birds but I did see birds fly up at one point - but these walkers did not disturb them. They had walked quite a distance seawards.

Many dogs off the lead were with walkers going along the sea bank .
