The Holme Dunes Protected Area

Holme Dunes is in a prime spot to attract migratory birds because it is located in northwest Norfolk, right where The Wash meets the North Sea. It also has a variety of essential habitats which sustain various different wildlife species like natterjack toads, butterflies and dragonflies, as well as a vast number of fascinating flora, Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve is a location of international importance.

The reserve was declared in 2002 and encompasses roughly 270 hectares (665 acres) of coastal sand dune ecosystem comprising marram grassland, open water pools and brackish grazing marshes. Since 1990, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust has been responsible for the region as part of their larger mission to save and restore the Wash shoreline.

Birdwatchers will love Holme Dunes.

The Wash is home to numerous wading birds including avocets, redshanks, and lapwings due to its vast stretches of shallow water and expansive mud flats.

The reserve has numerous bird hides where visitors may get up close and personal with these animals while overlooking the reserve's pools and scrapes, a popular hangout for wildfowl such teal, shoveler, and pochard. During the winter months, whooper swans also migrate to The Wash to take advantage of the plentiful eelgrass beds there.

Nesting grounds for birds like skylarks, meadow pipits, and reed buntings can be found in the dunes, as can homes for endangered species like natterjack toads and sand lizards.

In the summer, the grassland is alive with the fluttering wings of butterflies like the small copper, brown argus, and small heath, and the dune slacks are buzzing with the activity of dragonflies like the southern hawker.

Holme Dunes is an excellent site to watch a variety of birds, amphibians, reptiles, and insects.

RSPB Titchwell

Titchwell, the RSPB's most popular reserve, is located on the scenic north Norfolk coast and is a great site to go Birdwatching Holiday. You may readily access the reserve's various ecosystems, including the scrub forest where bullfinches and warblers can be found, from the parking lot. Great spotted woodpeckers can often be seen at the feeders near the tourist center. During the summer months, the reedbed is home to marsh harriers and a large number of reed and sedge warblers.

The freshwater and brackish lagoons are home to about 30 pairs of avocets and are also a great stop for waders and wildfowl during their winter migration. Winter brings Twite, snow buntings, and shorelarks to the foreshore; summer brings terns fishing offshore. In addition, slaty-backed gulls are permanent residents. In the winter, you should look for Slavonian grebes, dives, and scoters.

Vacations in Norfolk for Birdwatching and Wildlife

Birdwatchers and animal lovers will enjoy visiting Norfolk. Travel agencies in Norfolk abound, and many of them specialize in wildlife-themed vacations. Norfolk Coast B&B Cottages and camping is a great place to stay because of its familiarity with accommodating tourists interested in birding and wildlife. The tour guides on these trips know all the best places to see birds and mammals, and they also know all there is to know about the local flora and wildlife. The demand for these vacations is rising, so if you want to secure a spot, check out our website.

We are also conveniently close to many of Norfolk's most popular tourist destinations, including the Holkham Hall and Blickling Hall National Trust sites, the North Norfolk Steam Railway (Poppy Line), Sheringham Park, and Pensthorpe Nature Reserve. The cottages we have along the coast of Norfolk are ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Studio Nencini Norwich by Alder Brisco

Studio Nencini in Norfolk is one of 17 projects which received a 2022 RIBA East Award.

Jury Report

This project exudes a sense of great calm, demonstrating that delight can be found even in the most modest projects – in this case a simple single-storey extension that replaces a garage on the side of a gracious Victorian house in Norwich’s Golden Triangle.

Brisco Loran Director Thom Brisco was approached by the two artist-clients who had encountered their work in an exhibition space designed by the practice, exhibiting very good judgement in trusting a young practice with their project. In return they have had absolute commitment from their architects who have not only delivered new spaces – an art studio opening on to an enlarged kitchen – but have rediscovered the spirit of the original house, obscured by later additions. The work also reconnects the house to its garden in a convincing way.

Brisco Loran’s exploration through physical models is evident in the inventive interplay of spaces, opening up an enfilade through the house that links the clients’ two studios. A former maid’s quarters has been rediscovered and linked with a ladder stair, made by the architect himself, giving access both for storage and volumetric relief. A series of linings and timber soffits link new and old spaces, culminating in the timber roof beams of the studio which become mullions to the clerestory that rests on a new blind brick front façade.

As a low-cost refurbishment and extension, the project has implemented the principles of a fabric-first approach to uplift the fabric thermal performance (significantly uplifting the previously uninsulated existing dwelling), while timber and notable use of reclaimed bricks has assisted in reducing the whole-life carbon impact of this project.

A short drive today brings us to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve. This is a private reserve founded by a local landowner and businessman Bill Jordon. It is part wildfowl collection; part conservation centre and part nature reserve. It is also the centre of a local partnership seeking to combine modern farming and good habitat for wildlife. It has a diverse range of habitats and our first stop is at the wader scrape, where there are a number of species of geese and other waterbirds.

From here we pass on into the woodland and from the hide, we have excellent views of Nuthatch, Coal Tit and Marsh Tit along with more common woodland birds.

Nuthatch and Great Tit

After stopping at the visitor centre for lunch we visit the wetland hide, where 2 Green Sandpipers and a female Goldeneye are the best birds to be seen.
