A secret place

Went to a very lovely place at the weekend, Catfield Fen, bit difficult to find but well worth it when you do.I believe the Butterfly conservation people work there ,the day we went was a bit overcast although warm, so we didnt see many Damselflies or Dragonflies, just a Hairy Hawker and a Norfolk Hawker, there are apparrently Swallowtails there also, we heard a lovely Songthrush, also a Grasshopper Warbler.
it isn t signposted so maybe Google Earth could help with the location, but dont tell anyone else, it is too lovely to be invaded by lots of people!!
On Tuesday we went to Holt Country Park where a Roller had been seen, a lovely colourful bird, we missed it at first by about 20 minutes, but we went for a little stroll over the other side of the road near some ponds, and there was a bit of excitement in the distance , luckily it had relocated to just where we were , we got lovely views in the end.
