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 Drake Ferruginous Duck was again present on the Broadwater along with a smart drake Common Scoter. A walk to nearby Thornham Harbour gave nice views of the Twite flock, with several of the birds noted wearing colour rings, the below bird having originated from Derbyshire. Other birds of note here included a Peregrine, a flyover Lapland Bunting and a pair of Stonechats.
