Blackboard describing the only swallowtail butterfly species to be found in the UK. The area around Horsey Wind Pump is reputed to have quite a few swallowtail butterflies, but unfortunately, I have failed to see any during my various visits. Wild caterpillars tend to favour "milk parsley" in the Norfolk Broads, UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_machaon ]

Reed Thatch on the "facilities" building at Horsey Wind Pump. This approach is from the pathway along little "canal" between the Mere and the Wind Pump. The carpark is on the far side of this building.

Another visit to Horsey Wind Pump, to see how the restoration has proceeded (despite Covid and the difficulty finding a mill-right with time to spare). Built 1912, Horsey was one of approximately 250 wind pumps that drain the land surrounding the Norfolk Broads. It is now Grade II* listed and under the care of the National Trust. Much of the surrounding area is now managed as a wildlife preserve, with walks for tourists. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsey_Windpump

One of several benches around the tea room at Horsey Wind Pump. I had coffee and cake, and sat on a nearby picnic table. I had to wait for a family to finish theirs, before I could use my camera.
