A Pied Flycatcher was again around the observatory building, presumably the same bird seen last week. A Hobby was seen early morning and a Stonechat was along the East bank, a Common Sandpiper and three Snipe were on Redwell Marsh.

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.
