Another breezy day, with the best bird undoubtedly an Osprey seen heading south over the NWT hides early morning. At least one Great White Egret was still present on site seen several times throughout the day, two Spoonbills, one on Lavender Marsh the other east over the Grazing Marsh late morning and a Greenshank were the other birds of note.

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.
