Descripción
Surprisingly, given its proximity to Norwich city centre, Thorpe St. Andrew's Broad (locally referred to as Thorpe Marshes) is an excellent place to see a variety of bird species, some of which you might not expect in such an urban setting. The reserve consists of a short circular walk, including a viewpoint over the lake, and bridge crossing a railway to access the reserve.
Throughout the year, Thorpe Marshes is home to a variety of common wetland birds including Cisne Vulgar, Ánade azulón, Ánade friso and Somormujo Lavanco. The reedbed holds Cetia Ruiseñor and Escribano Palustre, while Tarabilla común may be adorning the tops of bushes in the marshland area. The river offers chances to see Martín Pescador Común on any visit to the site. At dawn and dusk, Lechuza Común may be sighted hunting around the reserve.
In winter, the lake (broad) make hold Porrón Moñudo, Porrón Osculado, Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común and Zampullín Común. In periods of colder weather, Serreta Grande, Serreta Chica and Zampullín Cuellinegro may put in appearances for lucky spotters, as well as Avetoro Común . The marshland will hold good numbers of Agachadiza común and even a few Agachadiza Chica, although these will be difficult to find. A few Bisbita Pratense will also be found here.
It is sometimes worth wandering up the river to Thorpe Green, where familes feed the ducks and gulls. Have a look through groups of Gaviota Reidora and Gaviota Cana for colour-ringed birds from eastern europe. Wildfowl including Ganso del Nilo will also be seen here.
In spring, there is always a chance of finding a rarer visitor on the broad including Negrón común, Charrán ártico, Gaviota Enana and Fumarel Común, while Charrán Común are expected to be seen from April onwards. Large number of feeding hirundines congregate over the broad, including Avión Zapador, Golondrina Común and Avión Común, usally joined by Vencejo Común in May.
The marshland fills with the sound of singing warblers in April and May, including Curruca Capirotada, Mosquitero Común, Carricerín Común, Carricero Común, Curruca Zarcera and smaller numbers of Mosquitero Musical, Curruca Zarcerilla and even Buscarla Pintojacan be heard! Both Carricero Políglota and Buscarla Unicolor have been recorded at the site, but are very rare.
In the summer and autumn, Alcotán Europeo may be seen feeding over the reserve, and expect large numbers of Ánsar común in the area. Waders may be found at the broad, including Ostrero Euroasiático and Andarríos Chico if the water levels are low. You may encounter the local Cotorra de Kramer population at Thorpe Green, which are slowly increasing in the area.

Accesso
To access the reserve, walk along Whitlingham Lane, located at the traffic light junction with Yarmouth Road. At the end of this short road there is a footbridge over the railway line which gives access to the reserve. Please note there is no parking on Whitlingham Lane. The site is easily reached via bus from Norwich city centre. The paths can often be muddy and flooded so wellingtons are recommended in the winter months.
