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.

The Short-eared Owl was seen hunting south of the Broadwater and a Barn Owl was also of interest. A Cuckoo was also singing. A misty and damp start produced a good catch of moths, with 46 species including 3 Breckland Plumes, 2 Eyed Hawk Moths, 2 Light Emeralds, a Shaded Pug and a Rosy Wave. Butterflies included a Painted Lady and at least 3 Common Blues.
