Queues for Fuel, Thetford Road At the time of photographing, motorists are responding by panic buying to a shortage of fuel deliveries to filling stations (caused by a shortage of HGV drivers). Hence long queues have formed at those places that have not yet sold out.

Broomhill Covert is a picturesque woodland located in Norfolk, England. Covering an area of approximately 50 acres, it is situated within the Norfolk Broads National Park, renowned for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. The woodland is primarily composed of native broadleaf trees such as oak, birch, and beech, creating a rich and vibrant ecosystem.

Broomhill Covert offers a serene and peaceful environment, attracting nature enthusiasts, hikers, and birdwatchers alike. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of bluebells during the spring months, creating a breathtaking sight for visitors. Its dense foliage provides shelter and nesting sites for a variety of bird species, including woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds.

The woodland is crisscrossed with well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its natural wonders at their own pace. There are several benches strategically placed throughout the forest, providing an opportunity to rest, reflect, and soak up the tranquil ambience.

Broomhill Covert is also home to a diverse range of wildlife. Deer can often be spotted grazing in the early mornings or evenings, and squirrels playfully dart between the trees. The woodland is also inhabited by a variety of smaller mammals, such as foxes, badgers, and rabbits.

The forest is open to the public year-round and is managed by the local conservation authority. It offers a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, allowing visitors to reconnect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the Norfolk countryside.
