A Norfolk wildlife phenomenon has been featured on a hit BBC One show.
RSPB Snettisham was on Sunday's episode of Countryfile as crowds gathered hoping to see one of the greatest wildlife events in the UK.
The Snettisham Spectacular occurs when thousands of birds take to the sky to escape the incoming high tides.
It is rare because it requires a spring tide in late autumn or early spring to happen during daylight hours.

People shown on screen had travelled from as far as Nottingham, prepared with camping chairs and refreshments.
Presenters Joe Crowley and Charlotte Smith likened the atmosphere to the buzz while waiting for a theatre show to begin.
When the tide passed a certain point and flocks hurried up to the skies, they were met with excited gasps and cheers from onlookers.
The last chance to see the Snettisham Spectacular in 2023 will be on November 1 at 6.15am.
The episode of Countryfile is available on BBC iPlayer.
