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.

Holme Bird Observatory Thursday 6th June 2019
A rather quiet day with a Red Kite and two Hobby the highlights. The Moth traps held nearly forty species, including three species of Hawk moth which included this subtly smart Pine Hawk moth.
