Theatre of wildfowl

The publicly accessible waterfront quays in Hoveton present a perfect vantage point to see a panoply of water birds and other creatures. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and even smells of the riverside. Centre stage are the ancient and colourful breeds of wildfowl.

Bridge Reach on the River Bure, Hoveton and Wroxham is home to some of the largest flocks of greylag geese and mute swans in the region. Occasional ducks also paddle by and surprising birds, such as shy black~feathered moorhens, or a gleaming blue kingfisher may be spotted darting across the river. The birds more often have strong personalities and some quite flighty behaviour can be seen by those with keen eyes.
