NWT Hickling Broad - Boom of the bittern walk (12 May)

You’ll learn some fascinating facts about this rare and elusive marshland bird. Listen out for the booming call of the male bittern as we near Bittern hide, as they try to attract a mate. Once at the hide we’ll see if we can catch a glimpse of this pale, buff-brown heron. Please bring binoculars. A limited number of pairs are available to hire at the visitor centre. (Walking will include some uneven ground, up to a distance of 2 miles.)

Please note a reserve entry fee applies for non NWT members, £5 gift aid/£4.50 standard entry.

Important Information – please read our event refund policy below:

Tickets are non-refundable unless the event or activity is cancelled by Norfolk Wildlife Trust. As a charity, we rely on ticket income to offset the costs of running events. Therefore, sadly we are not able to offer refunds due to the impact this will have on the overall cost of organising, marketing and delivering an event.

In the event that Norfolk Wildlife Trust has to cancel an event or activity due to low numbers, extreme weather conditions or other circumstances beyond our control, we will inform you at the earliest opportunity and will offer a full refund.
