TG31F?
That's the DINTY system for naming tetrads - basically devide a 10km square into 25 smaller tetrads and label them A-Z (omitting O) thus
E J P U Z
D I N T Y
C H M S X
B G L R W
A F K Q V
This means A is (if the big square is TG31) TG3010, and Z is TG3818
and F is indeed TG3210 - but I didn't think I was using that system anywhere on the site?
You could always pay a visit to Ranworth. There is a nice boadwalk through the reeds with a viewing platform and the NWT visitors centre at the end overlooking the broad. Probably nothing unusual about but the other week the reeds were full of warblers. Nice tea and cakes at the church by the way, if that is your sort of thing, and the church tower is well worth a visit if you haven't done it before (take your camera). I have seen Kingfishers in the dykes of the lovely garden next to the pub.Salhouse Broad, Woodbastwick Fens & Marshes and Bure Marshes?
Looks like I've secured a weeks lodgings in the Brundall area and wondering wether it's worth exploring (by bicycle) the above area, I've never been to this area before but from the few pics of it I've found on the net it looks a bit touristy so might be a bit quiet on the bird front? Shame there doesn't appear to be a footpath from Salhouse Broad along the river to Hoveton and Wroxham Broads?
Anyone familiar with the area......or should I just stick with Strumps and Buckenham RSPB?

There is an interesting walk by Ranworth and South Walsham Broads on that link you posted which I didn't know about. Thanks for that Matt. You might find some other ideas on the NWT website:Thanks for the suggestion there, Ron
Old churches and all that good stuff are right up my street, and having checked out the link below with regards to the view from the top of St Helens....I will most definately be having some of that!!!
The Broad and it's nature trails etc look good too!!

I will be staying in Wells-next-the-Sea this weekend. Sadly not a birding break but hope to have an evening (and early morning) free to walk nearby. I'd love to see some owls as I don't get a chance often to see them where I live - city centre and all that. Are there any nice walks around this village that are good for owls? Any other gen on wells would also be very much appreciated for any other interesting birds.
Thanks,
Andrew
The walk down from the town centre to the beach (along the quayside) is a good one for common waders. At the northern end you can then walk west through the pines to Holkham (Along the North Norfolk Coast Footpath at about TF9045). The fields south of this path are good for Barn Owl, and there are probably some that hunt over Holkham Freshmarsh too. In the evening you may see large amounts of Little Egrets coming in to roost. To the east of Wells is Warham marshes, but they are more productive in winter.

James
