We'll be looking out for some of NWT Hickling Broad’s key species along the way as well as spending time at the watch point counting the marsh harriers and crane, as they come in to roost. Barn Owl, and pink footed geese are some of the other species we should get to see. Walking distance is approximately 1.5 miles over (sometimes muddy) uneven ground.
