Well the birds are all back. Firstly I would like to take this chance to apologize for the sparsity of the birdlife the week before the 23rd of March, clearly they all had somewhere else to be and the weather probably didn't help. The week gone has been much more lively with 30 Pochard on the...

Good afternoon, anyone got that Friday feeling? It's been all go here the past couple of week with a number of big projects underway, somewhat hampered by the snow at times. Life out on the pools proceeds as usual. Our 2 Gadwall have become a constant feature of the view from the Visitor Centre...

Definitely the highlight of today- bird number 197 on the year list- 3 bearded tits seen by Emma from Fen Hide. It's a bird we're both very familiar with after each spending the summer at Titchwell Marsh but they're a barely annual visitor this far north. One of our regulars has mentioned...

After estimated counts of around 60,000 on Thursday and Friday, in impromptu dawn count on Sunday only managed to find 17,300 leaving the reserve in the morning. Probably some of these birds have headed south to southern...
