Another fairly quiet day with a Gannet and 7 Sandwich Terns offshore, 10 Swallows, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, 6 Sedge Warblers, a male Stonechat on the east bank, 6 Wheatears in the dunes and 4 Siskins over calling.
A Streamer, Hebrew Character, and Red Chestnut were in the moth traps while the first Green Hairstreaks were on the wing around the Observatory during the afternoon. A further 5 Emperor Moths emerged.

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.
