Nature Reserve

Thorpe Marshes

Bordering the River Yare, Thorpe Marshes is an important urban nature reserve. Located on the eastern fringe of Norwich, the site brings the wildlife of the Norfolk Broads into the city itself.…

Species

Four-spotted chaser

The Four-spotted chaser is easily recognised by the two dark spots on the leading edge of each wing - giving this species its name. It can be seen on heathlands and near ponds and lakes.

Species

Broad-bodied chaser

The Broad-bodied chaser is a common dragonfly that can be seen in summer around ponds and lakes, and even in gardens. It lives up to its name: its flattened body gives it a fat, broad look.

Event
