A video (more for nature lovers) of the Wildlife at Red Mill, a Victorian water-pump windmill sited on a triangular inland island of about 2000 acres of marshland. The windmill used wind-power to pump water from the Island, which is lower than the rivers surrounding it back into the river; these days this is done by electric pumps. The Windmill on Haddiscoe Island, Norfolk Broads, is about 4.8 miles off the road and takes about 20 minutes to drive across fields at about 15mph, the fastest you can safely drive on the dirt tracks from road to mill. However, it's a most wonderful 20 minutes journey each time being confronted by a wide variety of wildlife e.g. swans, owls, herons, hairs, dears, sheep, cows, bulls and so on. And most evenings when returning to the Windmill we were stopped by a family of swans standing on the dirt track and who resented moving to let us pass, and we had no option but to keep to the track due to drainage ditches on either side.
