Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays always tries to put something into nature conservation where we visit, and five new members for Norfolk Wildlife Trust from four Honeyguide Norfolk breaks certainly does that. 2 DAILY DIARY Monday 28 September – arrival Gail arrived by train to Norwich railway station. We first confirmed that Thorpe Marshes was still flooded, following last Friday’s storm, then I took her to her Airbnb. Helen and Malcolm Crowder and Julie Durdin joined the group at the Oaklands Hotel for the evening meal, a special occasion to celebrate Gill’s birthday marked by a chocolate and passionfruit birthday cake provided, free of charge, by the hotel. Tuesday 29 September – Buxton Heath and Holt Country Park It was an overcast and often wet morning at Buxton Heath, where Dilys met us having overcome the challenge of finding the rather hidden car park. Birds were thin at first: just jays, a calling green woodpecker and a skylark flight call. Eyes downward, we found mystery holes (probably a mining bee), heathers of three species and lots of fungi, with fly agarics in textbook colours and shapes (photo in lists).

  • Boat Trip Operators – NWT Ranworth Broad & Hickling Broad
    Boat trip Operators – NWT Ranworth Broad & Hickling Broad The Boat Trip Operators will be based at both NWT Ranworth Broad & NWT Hickling Broad and will be employed on an ‘on demand’ casual basis where required as part of a staff rota system. Norfolk Wildlife Trust has Visitor Centres situated on five of its nature reserves at Hickling Broad NNR, Holme Dunes NNR, Cley Marshes, Ranworth Broad, and Weeting Heath NNR Norfolk Wildlife Trust welcomes 250,000 people every year to these reserves. As well as ensuring visitors are well received and our Visitor Centres are in good order, we seek to increase Trust membership through active recruitment and income through sales, permits and donations. It is expected that the Boat trip operators will support the Trust in its commitment to improving the visitor experience by providing information, interpretation and a friendly welcome, whilst providing a quality service to promote the professional image of the Trust. The Boat Trip Operators will be responsible for the daily operation of a ferry service from Malthouse Staithe to the NWT “Broads Wildlife Centre” at Ranworth Broad and also for taking visitors on boat trips to experience Ranworth Broad. At Hickling Broad there are daily water trails and occasional evening boat trips. The boats used are based on a “reedlighter” type design, carry up to twelve passengers and are powered by petrol and electric motors. The post holders will also be required to undertake general maintenance on the boat as required, undertake daily checks on both the boat and life jackets and ensure the health and safety of all passengers.

  • ( 279 ) Ornithological Notes from Norfolk for 1924. In
    ( 279 ) ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM NORFOLK FOR 1924. BY B. B. RIVIERK, F.R.C.S., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. IN presenting my report on the Ornithology of Norfolk for the year 1924, I again acknowledge with grateful thanks the valuable assistance I have received from a number of correspondents who have sent me notes. I have also to record, with very deep sorrow, the loss of two most valued contributors to these notes in the Rev. Maurice C. H. Bird of Brunstead, who died on October 18th, 1924, in his sixty- eighth year, and in Mr. H. N. Pashley of Cley, who died on January 30th, 1925, in his eighty-first year. The past year was chiefly notable for the extraordinary number of wild fowl which visited our coasts during January and February, and for the record bags of Woodcock which continued to be made up to the end of the 1923-24 shooting season. Of these two remarkable immigrations I have already written elsewhere (Trans. Norf. <& Norwich Nat. Soc, Vol. XL, pt. v., 1923-24), so that I shall only refer to them more briefly in these notes. The winter of 1923-24, which was a long and bitterly cold one, may be said to have begun at the end of the first week of November, and lasted well into March. The first two weeks of January were marked by frosts and blizzards, a particularly severe blizzard from the S.E. occurring on the night of the 8th, whilst from February -12th until the end of the month snow fell nearly every day, the thermometer on February 29th registering 120 of frost, and another heavy snowfall occurring on March 3rd.

  • Wroxham Broad to Barton Broad Wroxham to Ant Mouth the To
    Explore the Broads 2021 Saturday - Wroxham Broad to Barton Broad Wroxham to Ant Mouth The tour starts at the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club on Wroxham Broad. The first leg is relatively short and the river Bure is relatively wide, so a relaxed start to the tour. Leave the Yacht Club and aim for the opening on to the River Bure on the far right-hand side of the broad between posts marked 1 and 2. Keep on the main river unless you wish to explore Salhouse Broad which is off to the right just past some moorings on the on the left. Above is the entrance and the exit is marked by red posts. Follow the river to Horning for lunch at The Swan Inn. A space for us to take the boats out will have been kept clear to the left of the pub and to the right of Horning Sailing Club. Beware that the ‘Mississippi paddle boat’ may be moored by this grassed area as well. After lunch, launch the boat and continue along the river in the same direction. Look out for a sign to the mouth of the River Ant on the left-hand side of the river just past Horning Hall and turn left. Explore the Broads 2021 Page 1 of 4 Ant Mouth to Barton Broad Turn left off the River Bure The River Ant is narrower and winds through high reed beds. As you approach Ludham Bridge there are tight bends with boats moored on both sides. Immediately round the bends is the bridge – narrow but manageable with care.

  • The Norwich Natterer
    Issue 1 May 2018 The Norwich Natterer for Norwich and the surrounding area Chair’s welcome Welcome to the first edition of the Norwich Natterer, the newsletter of the Norwich Bat Group. The Norwich Bat Group was formed in 2007 and we have been working ever since to help protect, conserve and raise the awareness of bats in Norwich and the surrounding area. The aim of this newsletter is to keep you informed of what we are doing and how you can get involved in the activities of the group. Norfolk is a great place for bats! Of the 16 regular resident species of bat found in Britain, at least nine species have been recorded in and around Norwich. Bats can be encountered anywhere along the City’s waterways, and in our many parks, especially around Whitlingham Country Park and along the Marriott’s Way. We lead guided walks at these sites, and at others, promoting awareness and understanding of bats to interested people and groups. The group is affiliated to the Bat Conservation Trust, the national voice for bats in Britain, and we are involved in national monitoring and research schemes, including the National Bat Monitoring Program, for which we run training for volunteers. We are also involved in the National Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project. Volunteering on these schemes is great fun and you can get up close and personal with some of our most difficult to see mammals. Whilst our focus in the past has been on Norwich, we hold events and operate across a much wider area, and we welcome anyone from across Norfolk with an interest in bats to join us.
