Cockshoot Broad

Cockshoot Broad is a secluded, tranquil Norfolk Broad, renowned for its water lily beds - a testament to the good water quality here. There are many damselflies which can be seen resting on the water lilies including variable and red-eyed damselfly. It is part of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve.

Kingfisher A piercing call followed by an all-too-brief flash of disappearing azure is often all that is seen of Britain’s most gaudily coloured resident bird. If you’re lucky, however, you may just get to watch one perched in trees from Cockshoot’s hide.
