One Stop Nature Shop are running a guided bird walk to RSPB Snettisham led by Steve Rooke from Sunbird Tours.
Walk alongside bird-filled lagoons, shingle beaches and the vast wilderness of The Wash. This is the place to witness two of the UK’s great wildlife spectacles. On big tides, as water covers the vast mudflats of The Wash, tens of thousands of wading birds are pushed off their feeding grounds and onto the roost banks and islands in front of the RSPB hides.

The Walk is expected to last about three hours and there is a maximum of ten people.

To book onto the walk or for further details please telephone The One Stop Nature Shop on 01485 211223 (£5 PP)

Valentines day was not only a day for couples to romance, it also marked the first day of the Mart in King’s Lynn’s Tuesday marketplace. The opening was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk as well as the Bishop of Lynn, who enjoyed some of the rides on offer, including the bumper cars!

The mart lasts for two weeks and features a variety of attractions for all ages and interests; with rides from the more relaxing merry-go-round to the thrilling ‘Superbob’ and traditional stalls with cuddly prizes on offer there is something for everyone. You can also take your pick of confectionery with candy floss and sweets for sale. So why not head to King’s Lynn before the fair ends on the 28th!

Last weekend saw the annual Big Garden Birdwatch in which hundreds of thousands of people across the country took part in the survey to provide an informative snapshot of Britain’s garden bird population. The count first took place in the late 1970′s, and was overwhelmingly popular – it has been a regular annual event since. You do not even have to leave your own house to take part, simply watching through your own back window and the event is popular with novices and more experienced bird-watchers alike.
Are you a keen birdwatcher? Why not check out Titchwell Marsh, an excellent nature reserve with hides providing many glimpses of a great variety of birds. Find out recent sightings here.

Hunstanton based author, April Rain, has written a children’s book about the adventures of Norf, a dog, as he explores the Norfolk coast. The book Up, Up and Wave was inspired by the author’s children and their pet dog Oscar and it is illustrated by Norwich based illustrator Claire Fawcett. The author wanted to create a book that could bring the beauty of Norfolk alive so that it could be enjoyed and appreciated by children as well as adults.
