Descripción
RSPB Buckenham Marshes is known for being one of only two places in the UK where a small flock of Ánsar Campestre regularly spends the winter. Its sister species the Ánsar Campestre de la Tundra can turn up as well. Many Ánsar piquicorto and Ánsar careto also winter here.
Cantley Marshes is essentially an extension of the reserve further down river and the Ánsar Campestre may be anywhere in the area. The wintering geese are joined by several thousand Silbón Europeo, Avefría Europea, Chorlito Dorado Europeo and Graja, as well as hundreds of Cerceta Común. These may attract birds of prey such as Halcón Peregrino and Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, creating a spectacle as they cause large flocks of birds to take to the sky.
In spring, the Silbón Europeo leave and the area comes alive with breeding migrant and resident waders including Avefría Europea, Archibebe Común, Agachadiza común, Avoceta Común and Ostrero Euroasiático. Lechuza Común also breed here and can be seen hunting in daylight in the summer. In autumn, a variety of waders can be seen on passage, including the likes of Correlimos Menudo, Combatiente, Correlimos Zarapitín and Andarríos Grande, with the pools by Cantley Sugar Factory being a particularly good site for them. There are also plenty of Chinese water deer in the area.
