Descrizione
Elmley has ideal habitat for wildfowl and waders. In the winter there are thousands of Fischione with plenty of Alzavola, Canapiglia and a good sprinkling of Mestolone, Volpoca, Codone, Canapiglia and also geese. Oca selvatica predominate but there are also Oca lombardella and Oca colombaccio.
At the right time of year it is possible to see 20 species of waders. Combattente, Piviere dorato and Pettegola are usually present. On passage, look out for Totano moro, Pantana, Piro piro boschereccio, Piro piro culbianco and many more.
Naturally this rich diversity of birds attracts predators. On a good day you may see Smeriglio, Falco pellegrino, Albanella reale, Gufo di palude or even Gufo comune. Falco di palude are virtually guaranteed. Occasionally a Poiana calzata appears but be careful before claiming one as there have been some very pale Poiana, too.
Passerines are more of a feature on migration - Stiaccino, Culbianco and others can be found in season. Keep your eyes and ears open and you may well find something unexpected.
Dettagli
Accesso
The reserve is accessed from the small road (Sheppey Way) that goes over the old road bridge onto the Isle of Sheppey. There is an RSPB sign pointing to the entrance. (With the logo removed!) It's a difficult place to reach by public transport - be prepared for some walking. Swale is the nearest railway station. Some of the best birding is actually along the entrance track. Scan the fence posts for raptors! If you walk you are likely to flush everything within quite some distance of the track - and are likely to upset the many photographers who like to use their cars as 'hides'.
