Descripción

On a ridge above the Thames Marshes, Northward Hill nature reserve offers miles of trails, marshes and hayfields, bustling with birds. Northward Hill is a working farm, with grazing cows and sheep. In summer, there’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy in the day and evening, including butterflies and dragonflies, bats and moths. The scrubland is rich in Ruiseñor Común and Curruca Zarcera. You can see birds of prey like Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Alcotán Europeo that hunt dragonflies over the marsh. Avoceta Común nest on reservoir islands. In winter, large numbers wildfowl gather on marshland floods and there is a huge roost of Graja and Grajilla Occidental at dusk. 4,000 Graja look spectacular as they prepare to roost in wood. Wintering thrushes, finches and buntings gather in scrub. Zorzal Alirrojo and Zorzal Real can be seen in the orchards below wood. You could also encounter a Búho Campestre.
