OK, so I have prematurely hailed the arrival of spring once already. But this time it is looking rather more positive. Although the wind is still a strong north-easterly today, during the weekend it is predicted to swing around to the south. This will bring in warmer (albeit wetter) weather. And hopefully...

It is the start of the holidays! And to mark this, we here at Frampton Marsh are once again running our egg-ceedingly popular Easter egg hunt. Come into the visitor centre and pick up an entry sheet. You'll find out that the Easter Bunny has paid us a visit, but dropped all it's eggs around...

Well, week it has been! Aside from all the hoo-hah with the swan, there have been some pretty exciting sightings too. Let's start with the biggie. And when I say big, I'm not kidding. The 'flying barn door', a white-tailed eagle . We know one has been hanging around the Norfolk cost...

Ah, words to strike terror into the heart of any parent during a car journey. In this case though, 'there' is referring to spring. And you know, for a moment I thought we were there. Snowdrops are coming up lovely in the gardens surrounding the office here at Frampton Marsh. But no, we are back...

No, not a comment on the footy. More a reflection on the change in weather between Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was lovely, wasn't it? Not quite time to break out the "What a Scorcher!" headlines in the tabloids, but all rather pleasant. Warm(ish) for the time of year and sunny. Sunday...

Hello all, Apologies for the hiatus in recent sightings, we should be back on track again. So, something of a cold week. Meaning it has only been the hardy folk coming out to us. But some good sightings still. And a first recent sightings posting for me, Chris, the new Visitor Services Officer...

Hello all! I'm Chris, the brand shiny new Visitor Services Officer here at Frampton. Just a week into the role. Though not new to the RSPB. If you have visited the old Top Lodge shop down in Fineshade Woods, Northamptonshire you may remember me. I was the Visitor and Promotions Officer there for...

If so, up to five are showing as close as three metres away from the Visitor Centre windows daily.....well worth a look if you've not seen them before, as they're such colourful little birds. John
