Broadland Winter

1965 , Horsey (Norfolk)

Cat no. 809

Wildlife documentary by local film maker, John Buxton for the RSPB, and of particular interest to ornithologists. The film complements the related seasonal record, 'Broadland Summer'.

Starting on Horsey beach, this wildlife documentary shows the windpump, the mill man and the sluice gates. The commentary explains the drainage of low lying marsh and farmland. Birds visiting the broad include golden plover, reeve, lapwing, snipe and water rail. Reed beds, dykes and coypu feature, followed by hen harrier and other wildfowl such as pochard, widgeon and coot on Horsey Mere. A sequence shows a bittern fishing, and a duck on the frozen mere. Teal, starlings, yellow hammer, tufted duck, shelduck, mute swans and little grebe are also seen. Views of snow around the broad feature hooper swans and mallard. There are blackbird, robin, long tailed tit, goldfinch, chaffinch, brambling and partridge in addition to coypu, rat, barn owl, hen harrier and bittern. Machine reed-cutting brings bearded tits to the stubble. Finally, swans on Horsey after the thaw, followed by marshmen carrying and loading reeds into a boat.
