The Hidden Nature of the Norfolk Broads: A Wildlife and Mills Walk at Halvergate Marshes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2020
- Discover the hidden nature of Norfolks Marshes and Broads and about some of the Mills that helped to create them. In this video I take you on a virtual tour of a new walk that has been created by the Water, Mills and Marshes project at Halvergate in Norfolk. The habitats on the 8.5 mile route vary greatly and as I go, I explore what makes them so unique and uncover some of the amazing wildlife that lives there. The walk also takes me to six historic wind powered water pumps where I delve in to their history to discover what they did and how they contributed to creating the marshes.

Thank you! Impatient me had to start asking questions before the end of the video! Lol! Now I understand why you were pumping water from the marshes
This was a really great video, it made me want to come and visit myself. What a great way to see other areas and what they have to offer. So nice to share in your knowledge, please make more like this - in the meantime I'm off for a walk!!
Great! I’m glad you enjoyed the video (and the new style of video that I tried) and also that it inspired you to get outside.
I hope you enjoyed your walk!
Wow.
Fantastic mate, one of my faves from you.

Cool video turned out !!!

Very beautiful -
Wow! a marsh harrier! Sadly we hardly see any skylarks or meadow pipits any more here. Love the small copper and the small blue. I've never seen either. Most windmills sails and windmills here were wrecked in the great wind of 1839. Only one restored windmill is left in all Ulster at Ballycopland. Plenty of windmill stumps remain. No painted ladies spotted this year I'm afraid. What a wonderful place with a super selection of wildlife.
FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL INTERESTING OK 👍🤔🆗💯
Brilliant Liam ! Me & my family are thinking to move up to Norfolk !!!! We went last week to look ! We’re thinking of Martham !!!! Keep in touch ! May need some advice !!👍
Cheers Craig. I know Martham area quite well so let me know if I can help :)

Interesting to watch. I didn't understand everything, but by looking I understood a lot.
Have a nice weekend and many greetings from Holland, Jacq 🙋♀️👍🌷

Thank you. I will be making more videos in this format in the coming weeks and months so hope that you enjoy them.
@@AShotOfWildlife i will check them out 🙂
Nice one
Nice one Liam! A shame to hear that the Berney Arms pub has closed. We had a boating week on the Broads 3 years running from '99 to '01 and have fond memories of having lunch there. The landlord was a bit of a prankster and had a fake spider up in one corner which he could make descend by pressing a button behind the bar!
On one occasion I spotted a trio of Spoonbills feeding on the mud as we cruised across Breydon Water. In a Broads Cruiser you have to take it at slack-water (one hour either side of low tide) otherwise the currents are too strong for the craft.
Interesting info about the mills and history of the land. Well done mate! 👍😎👍
Cheers Graham! The Berney arms is probably one of the only pubs in the Great Yarmouth postcode that I never visited when I lived there. There is talk of it being re-opened but the land behind it seems to have become a bit of an alternative people’s campsite.
Spoonbills are still on my list of birds to see, I know there are a few breeding pairs in the county now so fingers crossed for soon!
@@AShotOfWildlife Apparently spoonbills bred on the Havergate marshes successfully for the first time this year 👍
No sorry, my mistake, it was Havergate Island RSPB reserve, which is in Suffolk.
At 14.15 on this video I am helping to Restore it
Nice video. Greetings from Italy :)
Thanks Peri.
Why do they pump the water out of the marshes? Is that to provide good footing for walking. Do they harvest the Salt Hay as we do in some coastal towns in NJ? The European Hare is the grandfather ( maybe I should say Grandmother?!) Of the domestic rabbit. Interesting stuff!
Thanks for watching. They dont harvest the hay in most of the fields and leave it for grazing animals. The Brown hare is not the descendant of domestic rabbits, they come from european rabbits. Im glad you watched to the end to see why they pump the water from the marshes, its a completely man made habitat and would be really wet if not. Cheers!
Swans and the Ugly Duckling. The Ugly Duckling is the offspring of the Coscoroba Swan which is not a true swan, but a duck which looks like a swan.
