We travelled on motorways – an endless stream of cars and lorries and finally reached our destination – Norwich. Still surrounded by chaotic traffic at every roundabout and junction we ventured out to the Broads and fens determined to find tranquility in nature. At last – at Titchwell Marsh an RSPB reserve – we found it.
We stood transfixed, watching the Marsh Harriers, gliding and swooping over the reedbeds. We had come a long way to see them – a very special moment.
Every village we drove through has a new housing development and that means even more cars on the Norfolk roads but as long as the nature reserves and wet lands are there the birds and wildlife still have a chance.
