A quiet day with a moderate westerly, a Cuckoo was still calling around the reserve and a Cetti's Warbler near the entrance gate, with Fulmar, 3 Little Terns, and single Common and Sandwich Terns recorded offshore, an adult Med Gull and 4 Stonechats of interest.
Butterflies included Brimstone, Small Copper, Small Heath, Brown Argus and Green Hairstreak, while in the moth traps 2 Small Elephant Hawk Moths and 2 Buff Tips were of particular 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.
