GUN HILL from the Website Norfolk for the Book Discover Butterflies in Britain © D E Newland GUN HILL from www.discoverbutterflies.com the website Norfolk for the book Discover Butterflies in Britain © D E Newland View from the summit of Gun Hill, looking north-east Gun Hill is a high sand dune A wide, sandy beach runs all TARGET SPECIES about a mile and a half from the way from Hunstanton to Dark Green Fritillaries, Burnham Overy Staithe on the Morston. Its mix of high sand Graylings, Brown Argus, North Norfolk Coast. It is dunes, low mud flats and tidal Small Heath and other accessible only by walking estuaries are part of the commoner species. from the Overy Staithe or Norfolk Coast AONB. Gun from a nearby informal car Hill is near Burnham Overy park on the A149 coast road. Staithe and within the Holkham NNR. This is owned by Lord Leicester’s Holkham Estate and managed in cooperation with Natural England. To reach Gun Hill, you have to walk for about half-an-hour, either from Burnham Overy Staithe or from informal roadside parking about ½ mile east of the Overy Staithe, on the A149 coast road. From the roadside lay-by, you walk for about ¾ mile through the Overy Marshes and then go up onto the sea wall. Here you join the Norfolk Coast Path from Burnham Overy Staithe to Wells-next-the-Sea. This is the footpath that you would be on if you started from Overy Staithe. It is a good, hard-surfaced path for about another ¾ mile, ending in a boardwalk as it approaches the sandy beach. Now the Coast Path bears right across the sands, but you bear left for Gun Hill. Then it is an easy scramble across the dunes for about another ½ mile to reach the high point of Gun Hill. There are fine views, south to Burnham Overy Staithe and west towards Scolt Head. Gun Hill is a high sand dune, about 16 m above mean sea level, with well-established vegetation but with a volcano-like blow-out at its centre. This is where high winds have torn out the surface plants and lifted sand out to make a large, deep hollow. Around the sides and to the east and south of this hollow, wild privet has become strongly established, with many bushes at least 2m high. Gun Hill is at the western end of a long line of high sand dunes called the Holkham Meals. Dark Green Fritillaries and Graylings have been seen all along these dunes, but only occasionally, and the main Dark Green colony appears to be centred on Gun Hill. The first time I went, it was a sunny, hot afternoon in late June, the traditional weather for the first week of Wimbledon. But there was still a keen wind across the high dunes and butterflies were moving fast. During the walk to Gun Hill, there were plenty of Meadow Browns on the hedgerows through the marshes, and Painted Ladies were everywhere (this being the 2009 “good” year for them). Almost as soon as I climbed onto Gun Hill, I saw a Dark Green Fritillary rushing between its brief re-fuelling stops. Except during early morning and in the evening, males spend only a few seconds drinking nectar before rushing on to continue their search for females in the grass below. During the next hour or so, I must have had another half-dozen sightings, one of which was kind enough to wait on a thistle to be photographed. The next day I returned, and saw another 8 or 10 in the space of about an hour towards the end of the day. A couple of days before, I had been to Horsey Warren, where there were more Dark Greens on the wing but I have been told that they usually emerge later at Gun Hill and that the colony there builds up in July. Most of the fritillaries that I saw on the wing at Gun Hill and Horsey Warren were males. The females like to keep out of sight basking low down or egg-laying. Mating, if it occurs, is invariably low down in long grass. The time to take photographs and to look for females is towards the end of the day, when they will be found drinking nectar from thistles or knapweed, or from brambles if there are any, or, at Gun Hill, from the wild privet which flourishes here. The foodplant for Dark Green Fritillary caterpillars is usually one of the species of the violet family. In coastal locations, heath dog violets are used. These are quite similar to common dog violets in appearance, although they are more straggly and they are hard to identify when their flowers have faded. For generations, Burnham Overy provided a port for the surrounding villages, but commercial shipping ceased after the First World War when competition from the railway could be resisted no longer. Now Burnham Overy Staithe is a busy centre for sailing. To reach the sea, small boats come and go along Overy Creek which passes between Scolt Head Island and Gun Hill. Burnham Overy mill is a notable landmark on the A149 about ½ mile west of the Staithe. At the end of the 19th century, there were three separate mills here. A 16 hp steam engine drove 4 millstones, a watermill used the power of the River Burn to drive 3 millstones, and the present windmill drove three more millstones. The windmill was given to the National Trust in 1958, having not worked since 1919 and has been partially restored. It is now used for holiday accommodation. Holkham National Nature Reserve stretches from Burnham Norton in the west to Blakeney in the east and covers some 4,000 ha (15.5 sq miles). Scolt Head is a separate NNR, and both Holkham and Scolt Head NNRs fall within the North Norfolk Coast SSSI which covers 7,700 ha (30 sq miles). Its management consortium includes the National Trust and the RSPB. For birders, the whole area is well-known for migratory birds and wintering waterflowl, including brent and pink-footed geese, and wigeon. Breeding bird communities include sandwich terns, little terns, common terns, avocets, and bearded tits. The dunes and salt marshes support many different plant communities. On the dunes you may find sea rocket and saltwort, sea sandwort, centaury, bird’s-foot trefoil, pyramidal orchids and bee orchids. The rare Jersey cudweed may also be found on the damp, leeward side of the dunes. On the salt marshes, you can expect to see sea aster, sea lavender, sea purslane, sea plantain and sea wormwood as well as many other common and rare seaside plants. A feature of the North Norfolk coastline is that it is in a constant state of flux. To the west, at Holme and Brancaster, localised erosion is threatening grazing marches and the golf club, while at Holkham the opposite is taking place. The dune barriers in Holkham bay have been growing since the 1950s. The result is that the beach behind the dunes here has become muddy where once it was sandy, and samphire and other saltmarsh plants have taken hold. Recently, I met a couple at Holkham Gap who had not been there for ten years. They were astonished to find that the flat beach behind the dunes was now green where they had remembered it as yellow.

This is about 12 miles east of Hunstanton. There is parking at Burnham Overy Staithe or at an informal car park on the A149 about ½ mile east of the Overy Staithe. Both car parks are about 2 miles from Gun Hill. Walking is straightforward because the paths are easy, but they are not suitable for wheelchairs. It would be possible to sail to Gun Hill from the Overy Staithe, but landing is difficult because there is no landing stage. Walking on Gun Hill involves gentle scrambling and should not prove difficult except for the rabbit holes. These are everywhere and a dangerous trap for the unwary. .

  • Layman's Report
    Titchwell Marsh Coastal Change Project Layman’s Report Introduction Titchwell Marsh RSPB Nature Reserve was created between 1974 and 1978. Today the Reserve covers 379 ha of the North Norfolk coastline and is one of the RSPB’s most popular nature reserves. The location of the reserve is illustrated below. Historical records show that by 1717 the land that is now occupied by the nature reserve had been claimed from the sea and for over 200 years was in agricultural use, as well as a short period of time as a military training area. Following the devastating east coast floods in 1953 the sea defences protecting the land were breached and never repaired. The land returned back to saltmarsh. In the 1970s, the RSPB acquired the site and enclosed 38 ha of the saltmarsh within a series of sea walls creating 11 ha of brackish (intermediate salinity) lagoon, 18 ha of freshwater reedbeds and 12 ha of freshwater lagoons. Combined with coastal dunes, saltmarsh, tidal reedbed and small stands of broad‐leaved woodland and scrub, Titchwell supports a wide range of habitats in a relatively small area. Titchwell Marsh is now of national and international importance for birds and other wildlife and is a component of two Natura 2000 sites ‐ the North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and The North Norfolk Coast Special Protection Area (SPA). In addition Titchwell Marsh lies within the North Norfolk Coast Ramsar Site, the North Norfolk Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).The reserve is noted, in particular, for the following: The second largest reedbed in North Norfolk, nationally important for breeding marsh harrier, bearded tit and bittern.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • 1-Day Norfolk Coast Winter Birding Tour
    1-DAY NORFOLK COAST WINTER BIRDING TOUR NOVEMBER – MARCH Western Marsh Harrier will be a near-constant feature of our tour. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY UK 1-day tour: Norfolk Coast in Winter Our 1-day coastal Norfolk winter tour will take in the fabulous coastline of the county in its most dramatic form and connect with many of the special birds that make this part of the United Kingdom their home during this season. We will begin our tour at 9am and finish the day around dusk (times will vary slightly through the winter period). The North Norfolk coast is a popular and busy place, with birders and other tourists gravitating to several well-known sites. We will see a similar set of species to those possible at these well-known sites but will hopefully enjoy our birds with less people around. Our tour meeting point is at Thornham Harbour, with the first part of the tour expected to take around three hours. From our meeting point we will first explore the immediate area where we will find wading birds such as Common Redshank, Eurasian Curlew, Common Snipe, Eurasian Oystercatcher, and Grey Plover. We may also come across the delicate Twite as well as Eurasian Rock Pipit which both spend the winter in this sheltered spot. We will then make our way along the sea wall as far as the coastal dunes. Along the route we will look for more waders as we scan the expansive saltmarsh. Here we will come across vast flocks of Pink-footed Geese and Brant (Dark-bellied Brent) Geese, flocks of Eurasian Wigeon and Eurasian Teal, and mixed finch flocks containing European Goldfinch, Common Linnet, and perhaps more Twite.
