Here in East Anglia we are fortunate to have an abundance of beautiful countryside all around us.
And these picturesque landscapes are teeming with wildlife.
In particular, twitchers from across the world have come to the region to spot rare birds that migrate to or live in the region for many decades.
Over the years the facilities available to birdwatchers have evolved dramatically.
From boardwalks and hides to conservation centres and live stream cameras - it has never been easier to appreciate nature from a safe distance.
But today we have turned back the clocks to appreciate birdwatching in years gone by.
Perhaps you recognise some of the locations in these old photos from our archive or remember visiting them in the past.
