Another beautiful sunny, but breezy day. Seawatching produced 400 Common Scoters, 6 Gannets, 52 Sandwich Terns, 4 Common Terns, 4 Little Terns, 5 Grey Plovers and 6 Bar-tailed Godwits. Elsewhere birds of interest included a Turtle Dove, a Lesser Whitethroat, a Willow Warbler, and 4 Black-tailed Godwits.
Windy overnight conditions did limit the moth catch but a Garden Tiger, an Antler, 2 Archers Darts and a Southern Wainscot were among those in the trap today.

Further to the lifting of restrictions on Monday 12th April 2021 the NOA reserves and car parks remain open to visitors but hides remain closed. We are hoping to be able to open hides to visitors on Monday 17th May 2021 in line with expected changes to government restrictions, and will post further updates on this page prior to the changes commencing.
We continue to thank all our members and visitors for their patience, and for continuing to keep our staff and visitors safe.
