Blickling Estate (NT)

A very large 1808 ha National Trust owned estate in North Norfolk. Main habitats are grazed parkland with mature and veteran trees, Lake, ponds, mixed deciduous woodland, river valley meadows with wet ditches, the River Bure and arable farmland (which comprises over 50% of the estate).  There is also a small area of heathland and acid grasslands. Whilst the species list is quite good and there have been some biodiversity surveys (eg the beetle list is a decent 492), there will certainly be many more species to discover (e.g. fungi, Hymenoptera).
