Bitterns, Marsh Harriers and 15,780 Homes: What Norfolk’s Draft Environmental Delivery Plan Means for Broads Birds
Natural England's first Environmental Delivery Plan would fund fen, reedbed and river restoration with a £2,675 levy on every new home. We look at which wetland birds depend on cleaner water, what the money would buy, and why nutrients are only part of the story.

If you hear a piglet squealing near a reedbed, it's likely to be this bird!

The water rail is a shy bird that lives in reedbeds and wetlands, hiding among the vegetation - it's heard more often than it's seen.

Just finished this picture. Buckey enjoying his break hour. When he isn’t engineering dams, lodges and ecosystems, Buckey enjoys listening to music in his downtime. He often taps his tail to the beat!

Amazing habitat and birdlife at the Calstock managed realignment freshwater marsh. Superb effort by colleagues and the landowner to make this a reality 👏

Best birthday present ever yesterday. Expecting a no show, it was a tad windy. The Reeds were alive with one of my favourite UK birds.

No change in habitat? Possibly some northwards shift, currently 10-15k at one reedbed roost in Lothian, by far our largest, and probably only 3 higher in Scotland (100k Tay reedbeds, 20k St Margaret's marsh, Fife, 1/9/99, 20k in biofuel willow Hirn, NE Scotland 6/9/13)
