Description

Manor Farm Nature Reserve is 25 acres of restored farmland on the banks of the River Wey. Quite a small area nestled in an urban region good for a few hours spotting some common species. The Surrey Wildlife Trust acquired Manor Farm in 2009 and began the process of restoring the site to a natural state, bringing wildlife back to the area. The site now consists of areas of wet meadow, improved grassland and a series of hedges, which attract species such as Sönglævirki, Turnugla, Hörfinka, Turnfálki, Runntítla, Blámeisa, Söngþröstur, Gráspör and Dvergkráka. There is a hide for Surrey Wildlife Trust Members.
