Beskrivning
The site of Ormesby Broad and Rollesby Broad is very easily accessible and involves little walking, although a scope is highly recommended as birds can be distant. There is always a chance of finding something scarce here, however, there is usually a suite of typcial wildfowl here to keep you going in the meantime as well as some of the more iconic species of the Norfolk Broads.
In winter, expect to find high numbers of sothöna, brunand and vigg on both Broads. Checking each broad throughly from each viewpoint is essential, as there may be knipa and scarcites such as bergand, salskrake, storskrake mixed in. In particularly cold periods, gråhakedopping, svarthakedopping, svarthalsad dopping, alfågel, svartnäbbad islom and other rarities are entirely possible for the lucky observer. The reedbed along the edge of Ormesby Broad may hold rördrom, while skenes of spetsbergsgås may be moving overhead.
In spring, there can often be huge arrivals of mixed hirundine flocks, with clouds of ladusvala, backsvala and hussvala expected. There is always an outside chance of a Rostgumpsvala being in the mix. Large numbers of fisktärna are also exepcted, and these are sometimes joined by silvertärna, svarttärna and dvärgmås which will all be on their way elsewhere.
The summer can be a fantastic time to spot screaming parties of tornseglare over the lakes, while brun kärrhök can be found hunting the reedbed. The sound of cettisångare may be heard, while kungsfiskare may be spotted over the lakes. Autumn can be quiter at these sites with the Norfolk coast recieving more attention, however, there is always a chance of a passage Fiskgjuse to keep you going until the winter birds return.

During the middle of the day on both Saturday and Sunday, and sometimes weekdays in summer, expect to see boats using the lakes. These may cause the wildfowl to temporarily move on elsewhere, so be advised that visiting at these times may be less productive for birding.
