Beschreibung
Elmley has ideal habitat for wildfowl and waders. In the winter there are thousands of Pfeifente with plenty of Krickente, Schnatterente and a good sprinkling of Löffelente, Brandgans, Spießente, Schnatterente and also geese. Graugans predominate but there are also Bläßgans and Ringelgans.
At the right time of year it is possible to see 20 species of waders. Kampfläufer, Goldregenpfeifer and Rotschenkel are usually present. On passage, look out for Dunkler Wasserläufer, Grünschenkel, Bruchwasserläufer, Waldwasserläufer and many more.
Naturally this rich diversity of birds attracts predators. On a good day you may see Merlin, Wanderfalke, Kornweihe, Sumpfohreule or even Waldohreule. Rohrweihe are virtually guaranteed. Occasionally a Raufußbussard appears but be careful before claiming one as there have been some very pale Mäusebussard, too.
Passerines are more of a feature on migration - Braunkehlchen, Steinschmätzer and others can be found in season. Keep your eyes and ears open and you may well find something unexpected.
Details
Zugang
The reserve is accessed from the small road (Sheppey Way) that goes over the old road bridge onto the Isle of Sheppey. There is an RSPB sign pointing to the entrance. (With the logo removed!) It's a difficult place to reach by public transport - be prepared for some walking. Swale is the nearest railway station. Some of the best birding is actually along the entrance track. Scan the fence posts for raptors! If you walk you are likely to flush everything within quite some distance of the track - and are likely to upset the many photographers who like to use their cars as 'hides'.
