Avocets have been immortalised in the UK by their image being the logo of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. A proportion of the birds that winter in the UK are unusual insofar they are one of our very few species that do a true internal migration, breeding in East Anglia and wintering in the South West.

Grey herons are among the most familiar of our local water birds. They are often seen standing motionless on one leg at the water's edge. The Grey Heron flies with very slow, graceful wing beats, while its long neck is folded into an "S" shape, tucking the head above the body.

The swallowtail is one of Britain's finest butterflies. Its large and distinctive wing shape and beautiful markings make it eyecatching. Swallowtails were once found in wetlands across the UK but their numbers declined sharply in the 1920s. Nowadays careful management of the habitats in which they thrive is enabling a slow reversal of their fortunes. Norfolk Wildlife Trust's nature reserve at Hickling Broad is the UK's foremost haven for swallowtails.
