Watch out for: Swans & Tree Sparrow
The set of hides at this reserve look out right across the wash and can be very productive at all times of the year for a great variety of birds and other wildlife.
In the winter it is wildfowl and in particular visiting winter Swans. Today there were over 200 Whoopers, and a lot of them were close for viewing.
However the wash is not the only story here. As you walk through from the car park there are two brilliantly set up feeding area’s and they attract all the normal garden birds (Chaffinch, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit) plus a number of Tree Sparrows, Yellowhammers & Reed Buntings. It is excellent for photography.
Life bird count: 399. Year bird count: 112. Month bird count: 65.
