  • 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.

Yet another warm spring enabled a few of us to get out and about around the county a few times in February. This came to abrupt end with the restrictions imposed by the outbreak of Foot and Mouth. The restrictions only started easing in May meaning that the SMG larval hunt at West Stow had to be transferred to Milden Hall farm (thanks to Juliet Hawkins for allowing us on her farm at short notice). Poor weather over this period meant that species were quite late in emerging giving the impression that flight periods were late and extended with numbers of moths recorded down.

  • Species Knowledge Review: Shrill Carder Bee Bombus Sylvarum in England and Wales
    Species Knowledge Review: Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum in England and Wales Editors: Sam Page, Richard Comont, Sinead Lynch, and Vicky Wilkins. Bombus sylvarum, Nashenden Down nature reserve, Rochester (Kent Wildlife Trust) (Photo credit: Dave Watson) Executive summary This report aims to pull together current knowledge of the Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum in the UK. It is a working document, with a view to this information being reviewed and added when needed (current version updated Oct 2019). Special thanks to the group of experts who have reviewed and commented on earlier versions of this report. Much of the current knowledge on Bombus sylvarum builds on extensive work carried out by the Bumblebee Working Group and Hymettus in the 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, there have been a few key studies such as genetic research by Ellis et al (2006), Stuart Connop’s PhD thesis (2007), and a series of CCW surveys and reports carried out across the Welsh populations between 2000 and 2013. Distribution and abundance Records indicate that the Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum was historically widespread across southern England and Welsh lowland and coastal regions, with more localised records in central and northern England. The second half of the 20th Century saw a major range retraction for the species, with a mixed picture post-2000. Metapopulations of B. sylvarum are now limited to five key areas across the UK: In England these are the Thames Estuary and Somerset; in South Wales these are the Gwent Levels, Kenfig–Port Talbot, and south Pembrokeshire. The Thames Estuary and Gwent Levels populations appear to be the largest and most abundant, whereas the Somerset population exists at a very low population density, the Kenfig population is small and restricted.

  • June 2019 Tour Report Norfolk in Early Summer with Nick Acheson
    Tour Report UK – Norfolk in Early Spring with Nick Acheson 10 – 14 June 2019 Norfolk hawker dragonfly Stone curlew Bittern Marsh harrier Compiled by Nick Acheson 01962 302086 [email protected] www.wildlifeworldwide.com Tour Leader: Nick Acheson Day 1: Monday 10 June 2019 Months in advance, when planning tours to see swallowtail butterflies, dragonflies, wildflowers and summer birds in June, you don’t give a great deal of thought to a wild storm hitting — bringing wind, heavy rain and floods — and sticking around for a whole week. But such a storm hit today as you all reached Norfolk for the start of your tour. We met in the early afternoon at Knights Hill Hotel and, despite the rain, decided to head for RSPB Titchwell Marsh. Here we did manage to see a number of very nice birds, including many avocets and Mediterranean gulls, plenty of gadwall, teal and shoveler, a female marsh harrier, a ringed plover, a Sandwich tern, a fleeting bearded tit and a flyover spoonbill. However probably the most striking aspect of the afternoon was the relentless rain, which soaked us through whenever we were foolhardy enough to step outside a hide. Day 2: Tuesday 11 June 2019 In our original plan we should have headed to the Brecks today, but we decided instead — given the forecast of heavy rain all day — to drive along the North Norfolk coast, in the knowledge that at Norfolk Wildlife Trust Cley Marshes we could at least shelter in the hides. When we reached Cley, it was indeed raining very hard so we sped to Bishop’s Hide, the closest of all the hides.

  • England Coast Path Report 2 Sizewell to Dunwich

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
