Opis
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 łabędź niemy, krzyżówka, krakwa and perkoz dwuczuby. The reedbed holds wierzbówka zwyczajna and potrzos, while kląskawka may be adorning the tops of bushes in the marshland area. The river offers chances to see zimorodek on any visit to the site. At dawn and dusk, płomykówka (zwyczajna) may be sighted hunting around the reserve.
In winter, the lake (broad) make hold czernica, gągoł, cyraneczka, Płaskonos and perkozek. In periods of colder weather, nurogęś, bielaczek and zausznik may put in appearances for lucky spotters, as well as bąk . The marshland will hold good numbers of kszyk and even a few bekasik, although these will be difficult to find. A few świergotek łąkowy 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 śmieszka and mewa pospolita for colour-ringed birds from eastern europe. Wildfowl including gęsiówka egipska will also be seen here.
In spring, there is always a chance of finding a rarer visitor on the broad including markaczka, rybitwa popielata, mewa mała and rybitwa czarna, while rybitwa rzeczna are expected to be seen from April onwards. Large number of feeding hirundines congregate over the broad, including brzegówka, dymówka and oknówka, usally joined by jerzyk in May.
The marshland fills with the sound of singing warblers in April and May, including kapturka, pierwiosnek, rokitniczka, trzcinniczek (zwyczajny), cierniówka and smaller numbers of piecuszek, piegża and even świerszczakcan be heard! Both łozówka and brzęczka have been recorded at the site, but are very rare.
In the summer and autumn, kobuz may be seen feeding over the reserve, and expect large numbers of gęgawa in the area. Waders may be found at the broad, including ostrygojad and brodziec piskliwy if the water levels are low. You may encounter the local aleksandretta obrożna population at Thorpe Green, which are slowly increasing in the area.

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.
