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 day weather wise in complete contrast with yesterday with the sun at times even managing to come out! A Short-eared Owl was seen several times along the approach track to the reserve though the biggest surprise was a singing Firecrest in the pines adjacent to the observatory building. Other birds of note again included Cuckoo, Med Gull and Turtle Dove, plus a small group of five flyover Black-tailed Godwit and a Spotted Redshank. Notable moths included a Flame Wainscot and a figure of Eighty.
