Another day and another lovely walk out in the Norfolk countryside, but this time we were on a rare visit to a place not normally open to the public, it was Woodbastwick marshes this was another free trip from the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and was led by a Natural England Reserve manager, Woodbastwick Marshes is part of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve .

We were shown part of the Reserve and shown many plants and with a brief glimpse of the sun there was one dragonfly I believed to be a Four Spot Chaser, and the one little Butterfly was a Small White.One of the Water plants which the Reserves Manager was very keen on showing us was Bladderwort, which had tiny bladders on it with tiny hairs which when touched by any miniscule water creature caused the bladder to open and suck the poor little creature in so in effect a carnivorous water plant.
