Descripción
Minsmere has been managed by the RSPB since 1947. Its long history as a nature reserve, wide variety of habitats and excellent visitor facilites, make this the UK's best nature reserve (as voted by readers of Birdwatch magazine in 2019).
More than 5800 different species of wildlife have been recorded at Minsmere, including about 350 species of birds. Of these, more than 200 species of birds are recorded every year, and it is possibly to see 100 species on most days.
Minsmere's reedbed is the third largest freshwater reedbed in England and is home to important poputions of Avetoro Común, Bigotudo, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Rascón Europeo, Cetia Ruiseñor, Carricero Común and Carricerín Común, as well as otters, water voles and rare dragonflies and moths. In most years, at least one singing Buscarla Unicolor is present.
Scarce herons are regular in the reedbed, including Espátula Común, Garceta Grande, Garcilla Bueyera, Garza Imperial and Morito Común. The UK's first ever Calamón Común was a popular visitor in 2016.
The famous Minsmere Scrape was the first such habitat in the world. This is a series of shallow lagoons, studded with islands, that was created in the 1960s to attract nesting terns and Avoceta Común and migrant waders.
In spring, this is a superb area to look for breeding birds, including up to 3000 pairs of Gaviota Reidora. These, in turn, attract nesting Gaviota Cabecinegra, Charrán Común, Charrán Patinegro and Charrancito Común. Avoceta Común first recolonised the UK at Minsmere in 1947, and up to 100 pairs nest every year.
Spring and autumn migration can attract up to 25 species of waders per day, including good numbers of Aguja Colinegra, Archibebe Oscuro, Archibebe Claro, Andarríos Grande, Andarríos Chico and Combatiente. Correlimos Menudo, Correlimos Zarapitín, Andarríos Bastardo and Correlimos Pectoral are regular, while in recent years, rarities have included Archibebe Fino, Correlimos Culiblanco, Correlimos de Baird, Cigüeñuela común, Falaropo Picofino and Falaropo Picogrueso.
Other passage and migrant seabirds that are regularly enountered onthe Scrape include Charrán ártico, Charrán Rosado, Gaviota Enana, Gaviota del Caspio and Gaviota Patiamarilla.
The beach and dunes are home to a wide variety of scarce plants, as well as nesting Tarabilla común and Curruca Rabilarga. Offshore, large numbers of Colimbo Chico, Somormujo Lavanco and Negrón común may be present in winter, as well as smaller numbers of other seaducks. Págalo Pomarino and Págalo Grande are also regular offshore in autumn.
The deciduous woodland and scrub is important for breeding Ruiseñor Común and warblers, including Curruca Mosquitera, Curruca Capirotada, Curruca Zarcera, Curruca Zarcerilla and Mosquitero Musical, as well as Colirrojo Real, Cuco Común and Tórtola Europea. Many of these species are rapidly declining in the UK and across Europe.
Rarities, such as Oropéndola Europea, Torcecuello Euroasiático, Alcaudón Dorsirrojo and Mosquitero Silbador, are annual visitors.
A large Avión Zapador colony breeds next to the visitor centre and regularly attracts hunting Alcotán Europeo.
The adjacent heath is one of the easiest places in the UK to see a number of scarce habitat-specialist insects, flowers and birds. The latter include Alcaraván Común, Chotacabras Europeo, Alondra Totovía, Curruca Rabilarga and Tarabilla común.
The RSPB provides easy access paths, several birdwatching hides and a large visitor centre, with cafe, shop and toilets, and volunteer guides are usually present to help visitors to enjoy their visit.
