Weeting Heath is a 141.8-hectare (350-acre) Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Thetford in Norfolk, which is managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.

This is the best site for Stone Curlews in the Brecks. From the car park there is a trail to two hides which overlook the heath. Stone Curlews can be seen throughout the day during the spring and summer months, but are usually most active early morning or late in the evening; during these times there is also less haze.

As well as Stone Curlews Weeting Heath is also home to Woodlarks, Green woodpeckers, Lapwings and Mistle thrushes. Other birds possibly seen from the hides include Kestrel, Little owl, Sparrowhawk, Common buzzard and, in summer, Hobby.

Woodland birds are common in the trees around the visitor centre and on the woodland walk, with Crossbills, Tree pipits and Spotted flycatchers sometimes seen.
