		At the turn of the century the Norfolk Broads in eastern England, supported thriving populations but in the late 1970s and early 1980s surveys indicated that it had greatly declined and was absent from many former haunts.
		Both the Norfolk hawker and water soldier appear to prefer dykes with a reduced flow rate, such as those found in dykes that branch off the main system or those that have a dead end.
		However, Norfolk hawkers breed extensively at the site in general and the additional lengths of dyke have created new areas of unpolluted habitat which has undoubtedly also benefited many other invertebrates and aquatic plants, some of these also local and uncommon species.
