Beschreibung
RSPB Surlingham Church Marshes is a small reserve which offers birders a short 2km circular walk, with a mixture of habitats that supports a wide variety of species throguhout the year, and boasts some of the more highly sought after birds in the Yare Valley! This peaceful reserve has something to offer throughout the year, and is well worth a couple of hours of your time if you are in the area.
In all seasons, the reedbed at the centre of the reserve is home to iconic species of the area including Rohrweihe and Bartmeise, while the wet woodland is worth searching for Sumpfmeise, Waldbaumläufer and Gimpel. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a Eisvogel whizzing up and down the river. You will hear Seidensänger on most visits too.
In winter, paths around the reserve are susceptible to flooding and may also become muddy and slippery. Sturdy, waterproof footwear is highly recommended. However, it is also a great time to visit the reserve as large flocks of Star will put on a fantasitc display at dusk as group together before they drop into the reedbed to roost. Colder weather will bring opprotunities to see elusive Rohrdommel. It is worth scanning Postwick Marshes with a scope at this time of year, as Kurzschnabelgans and the rarer Bläßgans can sometimes be found. The marshes are also frequented by hunting Wanderfalke and Schleiereule. There are better reserves in the area to search for wildfowl, but Pfeifente and Krickente are both often found along the riverbank and in the wet woodland. For the keen eyed spotters, the marshes accomodate Bekassine, Zwergschnepfe and Waldschnepfe.
Spring is a great time to visit Surlingham, as the sound of warbler song returns to the reedbed. You will be able to hear Teichrohrsänger, Schilfrohrsänger and possibly even Feldschwirl. The resident Haubentaucher will be displaying on the river. The wet woodland and scrub areas of the reserve will hold Mönchsgrasmücke, Dorngrasmücke and potentially Kuckuck. Scanning over to Postwick Marshes, waders including Kiebitz and Austernfischer may be seen, while Flußuferläufer can be spotted on the riverbank.
Summer is a great time to see and hear families of Bartmeise roaming the reedbed, while looking up in the sky may reveal hawking Baumfalke, Mauersegler and flocks of Rauchschwalbe, Mehlschwalbe and Uferschwalbe. Postwick Marshes sometimes holds Wiesenschafstelze.
Autumn can be quiet at Surlingham, however, there is always a chance of finding returning Rotdrossel and Wacholderdrossel. It is always worth locating flocks of Schwanzmeise in the wet woodland, as there is chance of finding something rarer with them. Herons including the locally scarce Silberreiher may be seen from the hide. The marshland areas may hold families of Schwarzkehlchen. Visitors to the reserve are encouraged to share their sightings on the board in the hide.
