Andrew Bloomfield

The History of Holkham Marsh and its Birds

This is the story of the marshland environment from the days of Iceni, through coastal reclamations, world wars, floods and the efforts made in recent times to recreate and preserve. It is told by someone who has witnessed life on the marsh since the 1980s: local-born warden, naturalist and photographer Andrew Bloomfield.

One of the book's most remarkable stories is the triumphant return of the Eurasian Spoonbill as a

breeding bird in Norfolk, after an absence of over three centuries. Andrew's narrative is

both informative and inspiring, capturing the excitement and significance of this conservation milestone.

Whether you are a regular visitor to Holkham or someone who dreams of exploring its wild spaces, this book is a fitting celebration of a very special corner of Norfolk. Its combination of evocative prose, historical insight, and dazzling photography ensures it will be read, treasured, and returned to again and again. 216 pages.
