Description
As it's less well watched Westbere is a quieter destination than elsewehere in the Stour valley although the marshes attract many of the same species. The reeds hold Rousserolle effarvatte, Phragmite des joncs (summer) and Panure à moustaches and the scrub nearby Bouscarle de Cetti. Buse variable breed nearby, Faucon pèlerin may pass overhead, Busard des roseaux quarter the reedbeds and in spring/summer Faucon hobereau can be seen hawking overhead. Aigrette garzette are sometimes joined by Grande Aigrette and Butor étoilé occur in winter. The lakes hold Fuligule morillon, Fuligule milouin, Canard chipeau , Grèbe huppé and sometimes scarcer waterfowl. It can also be good for Hirondelle de rivage, Hirondelle rustique and Hirondelle de fenêtre. Check the Alders for Tarin des aulnes and Sizerin flammé

Accès
Easiest accessed via the footpath over the railway line in Westbere (in Walnut Tree Lane) although alternatively you can walk to the area from Fordwich (either catching the bus back to nearby Sturry or returning as you came). Most of the route is along a reasonably dry path but the walk along the riverbank to the east can be very swampy. Although it is possible to make this a circular route by taking a route through Westbere and a footpath beside the railway, the birding is more productive if you return along the river.

The marshes are home to a recently discovered colony Green-eyed or Norfolk Hawker (Aeshna isoceles) one of the few in the UK outside East Anglia. Both Westebere and Fordwich have pubs where you can have a meal. The proximity of a rail station at Sturry and a regular bus service connecting Sturry and Westbere (along Canterbury-Thanet A 28 road) make this a good site for those without a car.
