Description

Paull Holme Strays offers good views of a variety of birds. The sky is often full of the song of Alouette des champs and the calls of Courlis cendré and Chevalier gambette. Thousands of Pluvier doré fill the sky, often stirred up by Busard des roseaux or Faucon pèlerin. There is a single hide at the end of a good walk around the wetlands, that will often provide views of breeding Avocette élégante in the summer and Hibou des marais in the winter.

Look out for Râle d'eau, Bouscarle de Cetti, Rousserolle effarvatte and Phragmite des joncs in and around the vegetation and ditches. It is also worth keeping an eye out of birds flying along the estuary - Mouette tridactyle and even Fou de Bassan have been recorded. Also the trees surrounding nearby Fort Paull hold various warblers, chats and thrushes.

Accès

From the A1033 follow the signs for Fort Paull and then head south on Thorngumbald Road. The entrance to the car park is on the right just less than a mile after the entrance to Fort Paull. In the winter, access can be very muddy - it may be best to walk up the road slight and use the access path that runs alongside the Gas compound.
