Descrizione
Filby Broad and Little Ormesby Broad are both large, open, waterbodies on the eastern edge of the Norfolk Broads, and both have great potential to attract rare wildfowl, grebes, terns and more. A short walk from the car park, Filby Broad is viewable from a boardwalk on its northern edge, just off the A1064 road. This lake is large, and a scope is recommended to check the distant edges for ducks. Ormesby Little Broad, the lake on the north side of the A1064, has a short nature trail leading from the car park which takes you to a viewpoint.
Throughout the year, check the car park area for Cincia bigia, and if you're lucky, you may spot a passing Martin pescatore or flyover Falco di palude. A few Svasso maggiore, Cormorano and Airone cenerino will be in the area. In winter, expect to find Quattrocchi as well as a selection of other common wildfowl including Moretta, Moriglione, Canapiglia and Mestolone. After particularly cold or stormy weather, you are in with a chance of finding something rarer. Sightings may include Pesciaiola, Moretta grigia, Moretta codona, Svasso cornuto, Svasso piccolo, Svasso collorosso or even Strolaga maggiore!
In spring, Sterna comune will arrive but sometimes scarcer Sterna codalunga may join them while on passage. After rain showers in April / May, scarcities such as Mignattino comune and Gabbianello may drop in too. You may also spot a Cicogna bianca going on a jaunt from the local zoo to the south of Filby broad. This is a known locally escaped bird. Summer can be quiter, but the site is fantastic for dragonflies. Keep an eye out for Anatra mandarina, while more notably, keep eyes to the skies for raptors as Poiana and Sparviere may be seen circling above the lakes. Autumn is a time to look forward to returning winter birds, but if you're lucky, you may see an Falco pescatore hunting over the Broads, before they make their long journey back to west Africa.
This site is quick and easy, so well worth a quick detour if exploring the Norfolk Broads.
