15/4/19 We went with the GVCG to Titchwell RSPB reserve on a fine sunny day. We heard a Ceti warBler and many other warBlers . We also had a close view of a Reed Bunting , marsh Harriers were giving a splendid aerial display and We saw lots of other Birds including Avocets filter feeding ( see photo). And I can confirm that Alexander plants do taste like celery ! Apparently the Romans liked them. 17/4/19 One Swallow seen flying up the Oust at King's Lynn. Not quite summer yet ! 24/4/19 Snettisham RSPB reserve . We went for a walk with west Norfolk Branch of the NWT led By Adrian Winnington on a lovely sunny day. We spotted some Ring Ouzels and lots of Reed WarBlers boBBing up and down , looking to see who was there ! We also saw some lapwings and lots of wild flowers. 27/4/19 Gaywood river Survey I am still awaiting the results of the electro_fishing done on the Gaywood last year performed By Easton College. it would Be interesting to see their results.The only possiBle hazard was "Hannah" But she had petered out . It was cold and windy But we only had the occasional April shower. It was noticeaBle how dry the terrain was and there were no puddles at all in the Church farm track, the only time I have not had to wade through in my wellies ! Again I was accompanied by my trusty assistant Dermot. Gaywood Stone Bridge (site1) TF639213. Still using the Tetra water testing kit.

Church farm / Bawsey Ruins (site 2b)TF664209 NO3-50, NO-0, GH-8d, KH-6d, pH-7.2 and Cl-0. We heard several lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) and saw 6 English Grey Legged Partridges( Perdix perdix) at least , heard Skylarks ( Alauda arvensis) and Goldfinches ( Carduelis carduelis) flying too. Sugar fen / Leziate Drove (site 3) TF 695205. The water was very clear as usual. The water was also clearer at Church farm.The level was 0.15. There was a small discharge from the Leziate drain ( site 4g) But not enough to make any difference. DerBy fen Site (4) TF 706206. NO3-50, NO-0, GH-8d, KH-10d , pH-7.2, and Cl-0 The calcium hardness (KH) must Be an anomaly. The water was its usual crystal clear.

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.
