Where to watch birds in the Wensum Valley
This page aims to give visitors a guide to key sites often mentioned by members recording birds in the Wensum Valley. We hope to expand this page when we shortly move onto a new platform. Our new offering will include a photograph of the site and what species of birds it is possible to find there.
The best map for the valley is OS Explorer map Sheet 238: Dereham & Aylsham. The grid references given are generally for the square or tetrad. The existence of a site on this page does not indicate that rights of way exist. Watching may be from a road or specified point courtesy of the landowner. Please be courteous and follow the country code.
