Descripción
Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve is located between the villages of Titchwell and Thornham in the northern part of Norfolk. There are many types of habitat located in this reserve which makes it a beautiful place for birders to watch many species of shorebird and songbird all year long.
The area consists of four major areas: Titchwell Woodlands, Titchwell Lagoons, Titchwell Marshes and Titchwell Beach.
The woodlands near the parking lot and the visitors center are great for many species of songbird. In summer, these woodland are packed with species, like Curruca Capirotada, Curruca Mosquitera, Mosquitero Común, Mosquitero Musical and many more. There are multiple feeding stations on which these beautiful birds can be easily observed. In winter, the woodland area is a great place for wintering finches and thrushes, like Pardillo Norteño, Pinzón Real and Camachuelo Común.
After the woodland area, the marshlands make way for extensive reedbeds and freshwater ponds. These parts are great for Bigotudo, Avetoro Común, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Rascón Europeo. The small ponds are also great for Zampullín Común and small numbers of ducks, like Cerceta Común. Several larger waterbodies are located between these marshlands and the freshwater lagoons. Here, many species of goose and duck can be found, like Pato Colorado, Cuchara Común, Ánade rabudo norteño and Cerceta Común.
The freshwater lagoon is probably the best part of the nature reserve. The first lagoon has two birdhides and provide a great view on the mudflats. These mudflats can be jam-packed full of birds, being mainly waders and ducks and especially during high tide. Large numbers of Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Aguja Colipinta, Correlimos Gordo, Correlimos Común, Avoceta Común and many more can be seen here. This is also a great spot for scarcer species, like Correlimos Zarapitín, Chorlito Gris and Andarríos Bastardo. In summer, roosting Charrán Patinegro can be observed here too. The edges of the lagoon are covered with reedbeds. Species like Rascón Europeo and Lavandera Cascadeña can be seen foraging here.
To the West, you'll have a great view over extensive salt marshes. These are a great habitat for species like Barnacla Carinegra, Ánsar piquicorto and Garceta Común. Small puddles are visible from the path and are great for waders too. With a bit of luck, a Lechuza Común might show itself.
The beach is a great place to observe seabirds. Small flocks of Negrón común can be seen in a distance. Other species like Serreta Mediana and Éider común will be visible too. Terns, like Charrán Patinegro and Charrán Común can be seen foraging near the coast.
