Springwatch 2022

Update from a post originally added in 2021. 



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 children there to secondary school age, 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 etc - I should work for the Norfolk tourist board.

This year the BBC's Springwatch team is returning to Wild Ken Hill once again. Wild Ken Hill is a farm where over 1000 hectares are being returned to nature, with a rewilding project including wetland formation. The first programme was broadcast last night.

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.
