Description
RSPB Arne is a patchwork of a huge array of habitats. Although the reserve is famous for it's dry and wet lowland heath you can also find ancient oak woodland, farmland, saltmarsh, reedbed, mudflats, scrub, wet woodland, acid grassland and even sandy beaches. This mix of habitats surrounded by Poole Harbour is one of the reasons the reserve is home to such a huge variety of species.
The dramatic open heathland is one of the best places to spot the Fauvette pitchou all year round, and is one of the most important sites in the UK for them. The reserve also makes up part of the territory of a pair of reintroduced Pygargue à queue blanche, which are seen very often from the reserve.
In summer, the reserve is a hunting ground for Balbuzard pêcheur breeding in Poole Harbour. In winter, the reserve is an important site for wintering and passage wading birds and waterfowl. Arne gets large flocks of waders including Avocette élégante and a large number of Spatule blanche.
Other rare birds you can see here include Barge à queue noire, Busard Saint-Martin in winter, and Busard des roseaux.
