Leader: Sue Gale
Reporter: John Scoggins Start: Kelling, TG094429 On the autumn equinox, a small group of us met in Kelling to explore the area around Muckleborough Hill on the north Norfolk coast under the autumnal mutterings of Rooks and Jackdaws, flitterings of Goldfinches in the nearby trees, and the toot of the train from the nearby Poppy Line chugging up to Holt. It was a changeable morning; hot in the sun but chilly in the cloud which gathered as we crossed the road and set off down the Meadow Lane track that leads down to The Quag. As we ventured out of the village, initially surrounded on both sides by trees and hedges, with the best blackberries above head height, the first birds of the walk were perhaps unsurprisingly a mix of Robins, Wrens, Starlings and Dunnock alongside Woodpigeon, Stock Dove and Collared Dove.

Leader: Matt Wickens
Coordinator and Reporter: Sue Gale There was a good turn-out for the visit to Sweet Briar Marshes NWT, probably because people had been enthused by the talk in August by Matt Wickens, Urban Reserve Manager. He had agreed to take us round the recently acquired reserve to demonstrate what he had been talking about. Most of us met in the car park on Hellesdon Road and took the very overgrown riverside path to reach Marriott’s Way. Over the bridge and it was only a short walk to the main entrance, where we met up with Matt. |
