the Norfolk thread has dropped off after Paul left Titchwell and stopped posting daily updates from thereWith this in mind I have just checked on how many daily hits we are getting .
I last checked in April at that time we were getting 4155 per day.and Norfolk 2,234..
Our total views on 9th April was 7,471,689
Norfolk was 7,249,412.
In the 102 interveening days we have had 165,867 hits
and Norfolk only 63,534
An average of 1,626 for us and 623 for Norfolk.
I don't know if there has been a fall off in views or this is a reflection of how poor the Spring has been for any interesting events.
:eek!: john
First visit for a while to the new hide. It's proving to be a really good place to view from. Shoveler family, Common Tern, Sparrowhawk, 1 Swift, Reed Warbler, GSW on feeder & a new spot for me, a Common Toad.
Shoveler family? Dont think there's been any reports of breeding so far this year. How many ducklings Rob?
Not been down to the reserve for a couple of weeks so put in a late-ish shift.... 1300-1900...very quiet
Moors

Again very quiet but it has certainly dried out significantly since my last visit... 94 Lapwing, 13 Curlew, 12 Stock Dove, 1 Starling, 20 Rook in cornfield, Greenfinch
