Parts of the Norfolk Broads have been warned to prepare for flooding after the new year brought high tides.
The Environment Agency has issued two alerts along the waterways after river levels rose to worrying highs.
The alerts span much of the Broads, with official amber alerts being issued on the River Yare, from Thorpe St Andrew, and the River Waveney, from Ellingham to Breydon Water.

A spokesman for the Environment Agency said: "High water levels may last for a few days until the high tides and tidal surge at Great Yarmouth have passed.
"The current series of high spring tides have peaked, although a tidal surge is restricting the river flows draining out to sea at low tide as normal.
"Take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger."
