tichwell
That afternoon the clock struck 11:30 UK time, when we arrived at Titchwell Nature Reserve is located on the north Norfolk coast. I, Ambe and Irma joined Jeff and Jill volunteers (volunteers) RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). Adam Rawlands, manager Tichwell Swamp Nature Reserve was waiting and greeted us warmly in the room who did not work so great. Adam tells at length the existence of this region with a fluent and professional. He has worked at the RSPB’s conservation area for 15 years, moving from one area to another area. Here he was six months.

Enter the gate, we turned right, into the bird watching for beginners. In a distance of about 20 meters there is the food of birds that have been placed, so that the birds would come. If tired to stand, to watch while sitting or want to take pictures, follow the road to stay on track, until you find a seat away from a place to eat bird’s only 10 meters.

Adam patiently answered questions as he accompanied us to walk to follow the “trail” is only three feet wide that. The path also traveled quite a lot of people, both old and young and the children “carrying” a pair of binoculars and a tripod monoculer his following. There are more fun “ngeker”, there is a ready-ready monoculer put it on a tripod. There are more records while seeing pictures of birds in the handbook. Or just sit around on benches that had been provided while watching birds in front of him.

Bookmarks direction and what wildlife can be viewed with complete descriptions are available. That Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve, one of the conservation area owned by RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), one of the largest NGOs in the UK.
After observing a moment, we continued on toward home birdwatching I. The distance is 250 meters from the gate. In this house, look at the walls plastered posters of birds can be seen. In addition there are pamphlets to be a member of the RSPB, or a plea-a plea to preserve the environment.

The house is large enough, the shape of the watchtower, only elongated and only the front glass and the windows can be opened. If you want to watch, just sit and open the window. If do not want to open the window also okay, but it was less satisfactory. As many observers, they have to queue in turn, that has not goto observed by sitting in the back seat like the bleachers at the sports stadium.

Learn

We walked back through the swamp grass high enough where the butterflies and water rats. In this place also provided a place to sit to see the water rat, if lucky enough to see. There is a brief description of the water rat, similar to plant information contained in the Bogor Botanical Gardens.

Not far from here, there is a place where children learn about the “Aquatic” (aquatic environment). The journey continues back toward the shore which are located just one mile from the gates. Through freshwater swamp on the right and the left side of the salt water marsh. Along the way there are benches for resting.

Despite the heat, but not felt, the cold wind and blowing quite hard. We went back inside the house watching birds II, the form is not different from the first, only bigger and the shape of the letter L. Birds were observed and posters plastered on the wall is different, because in general the water birds.

Houses for bird watching is actually three, but we are not headed into a third house, but the road continues to the beach. On the beach a lot of people watching while relaxed, sleeping, sunbathing in the hot sun, like those we picnic on the beach. I’m often amused smile when I think on the north Norfolk coast is. Imagine, usually people on the beach, sunbathing, relaxing, well we are cold. So cute and looks “tacky” at all because the wind strong and cold, forced to wear a jacket.

Every Season

Titchwell Nature Reserve is located on the north coast of Norfolk 380 hectares wide, but which can be visited only 100 hectares. Understandably this nature reserve is dominated tidal marsh water. Titchwell is frequently visited, let alone the holiday season, has many things to many people, from beginners to seasoned birdwatchers in the search for something rare.
Hundreds of thousands of migratory birds spend the spring, fall and many were in the winter, here. This natural order provides a good opportunity to observe many species of ducks, the migration of birds, sea birds and geese. In the spring and summer, this area is home to the RSPB bird symbols, including the types of water birds. Birds of this group of migratory birds have been nesting on the lagoon-lagoon existed since 1984.

Conservation area where it should be interesting to visit. Management of different ways. Titchwell’s nature reserves, such as nature reserves in Indonesia. What distinguishes, conservation areas in England can be purchased from no money and managed by “neat”. In Indonesia can not be bought and very weak in management.

In the proper management of Titchwell way thumbs up. Complete facility, starting a vehicle parking area, toilets, places to eat in an open area, a store that sells equipment for bird watching, t-shirts, postcards, guide books, bird food and its place, until the toys are all versatile bird.

All the information in the leaflet distributed to visitors, such as pamphlets for the “Trail Guide” full and adequate content. Activity pamphlets, monthly activity information. There is also information about tidal water every morning, afternoon, bright moon, half moon or no moon. Just what information about Titchwell there.
