Well the contractors which have been building our new seawall have finished for the season and left site. It seems eerily quiet at 7:30 am without the dull throb of deisel engines, it just proves how quickly you get used to things around you.
WIth the work complete for this year all of our attention is now focused on delivery of next years work which promises to be one of the most exciting stages of the project. Next year will see the construction of a new hide on the Parrinder sea wall. In preparation for this we are trialling some new window designs which have been fitted to the fen hide. These windows are a trial so we expect there to be alterations required and a process of continual development before we get what we want. For this to work we need feed back from our visitors on these designs. So if you come to the reserve please make sure you visit Fen hide and give us your thoughts.
Hi Robert
I am glad to hear all about the progress of Titchwell Marsh is going well at the moment - so now it is quietness once more for the time being. Great for the up to date information on this Forum and at our fingertips.
Winter is near, and the birds will be happy to try out the new area for size that I am sure of! Any Avocets at all at the moment - as it a true indication of how they will adapt to progress.
Dave, and I where at Titchwell last week, and we where not disappointed as always. We could see all the hard work developing in the area. Strange not having the other bird hide over the Marsh area, but all in good time. The new hide looks good from here.
We are going to Norfolk this weekend, but not made up our minds where yet. I am sure that we will squeeze in Titchwell somewhere over the weekend.
I did notice a very content looking male Pheasant sitting on the pole where the garden feeders area. He looks although he has made himself at home already LOL.
Loved to see the Bearded Tits that was just a treat!
Regards
Kathy and Dave
