Raptors of Norfolk - including owls
Event details
About the event
Raptors, or ‘birds of prey’ are one of the most charismatic and exciting groups of birds. Ten species have bred in recent years in Norfolk, with another four regular winter visitors and another 3 scarce but regular migrants, it is an exciting county to see these birds. This workshop will look at the past history and present status of these birds, where they might be seen and how to recognise them. At NWT Cley Marshes at this time of the season we are likely to see a range of these birds, including – we would hope- marsh harriers entertaining with 'sky-dancing'. This will also introduce the majestic owl species found here too.
