Winterwatch 2022

I lived in Snettisham, on the NW Norfolk coast for 12 years, moving into our house the week after my wife and I got married. We brought up our two children there, and it was a lovely village for a young family: a beach within cycling distance, and Ken Hill woods out the back of the village where we could wander. Sandringham, Hunstanton, Bircham Windmill cream teas, country pubs, Titchwell bird reserve and the Snettisham spring tide Spectaculars etc.

This year, after the BBC's popular 'Springwatch' came live from Ken Hill woods in 2021, the team has returned for Winterwatch 2021. Wild Ken Hill is a farm where over 1000 hectares are being returned to nature, with a rewilding project including wetland formation.

The woods have a view across open fields towards the Wash and Lincolnshire beyond. I shall be watching. It was in a field nearby that the famous Snettisham gold torc was found.
