NATURE
Our meadows are in full flower and are brimming with bees. The ditches are being patrolled by dragonflies and kingfishers. Our shallow ponds are full of waders (we have seen Snipe, Ruff, Green Sandpipers, Common Sandpipers and a Wood Sandpiper today) and the sky is full of House Martins, Yellow Wagtails and Linnets.

WILDLIFE
Water Voles are having a great breeding season at Dickleburgh Moor. The new pools and ditches that we have specifically created to increase our population, have been a great success, with Water Voles being spotted throughout the North-eastern section of the site. Lookout for these aquatic rodents as you walk along the eastern side of the public footpath and the permissive path across the marsh on our eastern boundary.
