The chance to boost your year list for 2026. We will start the day at the excellent RSPB Titchwell with a very varied
mix of birds on the reserve and sea before taking a late lunch. Hopefully a 50 to 70 species day. There is an entry
charge to the reserve for non-members. Please bring a packed lunch or food and drinks can be purchased from the
RSPB cafe at Titchwell. Following lunch we will then head for either Wells or Kings Lynn to watch either sites Harrier
roost. Both roosts are performing very well at the minute with Wells (Warham Greens) having regular Hen Harriers
and a Female Pallied Harrier and Kings Lynn (Roydon Common) having up to 6 Hen Harriers roosting nightly. Which
roost we choose will depend on which is performing best in preceding days.
