Autumn
Autumn is very near now bringing with it wildlife spectaculars as tens or hundreds of thousands of migrating geese overwinter on the UK shores and the Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts around the Wash in particular. Some of the earliest to arrive are Brent geese. These nest on the boggy Arctic tundra, where the severe climate allows them only about two months of good weather in which to raise a family. By mid-September, they have left their breeding grounds, and arrive in large flocks on our shores in early October.
These are small dark coloured geese with a white bottom and can often be seen roosting on the river right outside the lighthouse in large flocks. Most will have left by the end of February but the young ones often hang on a lot later.
Renovation works complete
It has been a three year journey to complete the renovation works
The Lighthouse is a Grade 11* listed building due to it's incredibly important historic roll (see History). This means that any work we carry out to the lighthouse by way of alterations, however minor (even including what paint to use), requires historic building approval. It has therefore been a three year journey to complete the renovation works needed to upgrade it to a specification we hope you will enjoy.
