Description
Fowlmere Nature Reserve is a wildlife oasis set within farmland. Home to breeding European Turtle Dove, Water Rail and Barn Owl and winter roosts of Reed Bunting. Bearded Tit and Great Bittern are found occasionally in winter, and otters and water voles are regularly seen. The paths and boardwalks of the nature trail offer views over most of the reserve and access to the hides and viewing points. However, some sections of the 1.8 mile (3 km) circular trail can be muddy during the winter. Other birds you can see here are Common Kingfisher, Red Kite, Sedge Warbler, Common Starling, Little Grebe, Northern Lapwing and Common Teal.
