A calm hot day, with the temperature reaching 32c by mid afternoon. Understandably bird active was limited, with a singing Turtle Dove near Redwell Marsh the highlight of the day. The moth trap held 35 species which included a Privet Hawk Moth, Drinker and Scalloped Oak. Eight species of Butterfly were noted, and three Damselfly species were recorded on the Obs pond which included at least one Emerald Damselfly.

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.
