Around 24 hardy souls turned out for the guided tour around Wild Ken Hill, the large coastal estate of some 4,000 acres in North West Norfolk that’s promoting a new form of conservation and regenerative farming management to improve soil health and increase biodiversity. Dominic Buscall who founded and manages the estate gave an extremely interesting talk to the WVBS on 21st March this year and this was the follow-up visit for up to 25 members. Although the weather threatened to be wet with thundery downpours it stayed dry for the majority of the trip around the estate and the sun even came out on the way back. The tour included wooded areas, grassy regenerative zones that were once arable
and the Eurasian beaver enclosure.

Twenty one members met in the car park at Pensthorpe on a very misty and chilly morning for the Dawn Chorus walk. Chris Stone was our leader alongside Richard the reserve manager who guided us round the reserve.

It was a cool, overcast start with light rain but twenty members were tempted to what was a new venue for a WVBS trip and a new site for several participants. Meeting at the car park at 9:00 there were Swallows and House Martins flying around, a passing Pied Wagtail and
Skylarks over the field.

​Part 1
​It was a 9:00 start at Lynford Arboretum on a dry day with light cloud and a brisk, cool NW wind. I was early and walked to the lakes for the first of the day's Chiffchaffs and a Woodlark (1). There were a few ducks and geese including Mallard, Tufted Duck, Teal and Greylag and Canada Geese plus
a pair of Great Crested Grebes.
