CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – Tuesday 29th DECEMBER 2020
Further to the announcement of a Tier 4 (Stay at home) lockdown in Norfolk, the NOA has closed all hides on its nature reserves. While we would discourage anyone from travelling too far during this crucial time, our reserves themselves will remain open for local visitors and usual charges will apply for non-members. Please follow government advice, and respect social distancing at all times. We will restore access to our facilities as and when government restrictions permit.
We are very grateful for your understanding and support.

A change in wind direction had the desired effect today with migrant species clearly taking advantage of the situation. Best of the bunch was a Wood Warbler singing by the pay hut at the western end of the NWT reserve, followed by a female Firecrest trapped and ringed at the Observatory. Other birds of note included a Turtle dove, Cuckoo, six Swifts, Ring Ouzel, Garden Warbler, Peregrine and Red Kite.
