Watch the birdies

Spring is a busy time for our winged residents as they prepare for new beginnings, searching for mates and building nests. They’re joined by a host of seasonal visitors, making this time of year perfect for twitching activities. Considered by many to be the birdwatching capital of Britain, Norfolk will play host to a new weekend-long event on 18-19 May. Held at Pensthorpe Natural Park in Fakenham, The Norfolk Bird and Wildlife Fair will feature a series of events led by a team of local nature and wildlife experts. Expect to see ruffs, warblers, cuckoos, turtle doves and raptors, such as Montagu’s harrier and red-footed falcon.
