Ken Hill is a project to return 1,500 acres of Norfolk land back to nature letting it become wild. The grazing marshes already attract many birds.

Description

The Wild Ken Hill rewilding project has ambition to move away from existing agricultural and forestry techniques and allow wild nature to thrive. They are actively managing an area of grazed wetland next to the Wash to support wildlife, and have raised the water level by around a foot across 500 acres to help birds such as Chevalier gambette, Vanneau huppé, Courlis cendré and Spatule blanche. The wider area has diverse habitats that are developing like mixed woodland, wood pasture, grassland and meadow and heathlands and shrub. But especially the grazing marshes already attract many birds. Among the birds you can see here are Tadorne de Belon, Tourterelle des bois, Huîtrier pie, Barge à queue noire, Bécassine des marais and Busard des roseaux. During migration also many species of waders and waterbirds make a stop here.
