Description
NWT Ranworth Broad is accessible to all and boasts a great visitor centre (which is open in the spring and summer) with wide views over Ranworth Broad. The broad (lake) itself offers chances to see Пірникоза велика, Рибалочка блакитний and Лунь очеретяний throughout the year, while the boardwalk trail supports Гаїчка болотяна, Снігур звичайний and Пастушок may also be heard.
In winter, the broad will be busy with feeding wildfowl including Свищ євразійський, Чирянка мала, Широконіска північна, Шилохвіст and a few Чернь чубата. In periods of harsh weather, Бугай водяний, Чернь морська and other scarcer species may be seen. The alder trees on the trail from the car park may hold good numbers of Чиж лісовий and Чечітка мала.
In summer, there is a chance of seeing a flyover Скопа, but more likely, there will be plenty of Крячок річковий feeding over the broad. Large gatherings of Ластівка сільська, Ластівка міська and Ластівка берегова may also be seen. Listen out for the songs of Вівчарик-ковалик, Очеретянка лучна, Очеретянка ставкова and even a Зозуля звичайна along the boardwalk trail.

Access
There is a small car park available on the corner of Farm Lane and The Hill, but a larger one at The Maltsters Pub available if you drop in there for a quick drink or a bite to eat. The broad itself is accessed via the boardwalk trail. Wildlife boat trips are on offer here, so visit the Norfolk Wildlife Trust website (see link below) for more details.
