Descrizione
Emsworthy Mire is a Devon Wildlife Trust reserve (since 2012), situated in a sloping valley that consists of an abandoned (1870) moorland farm (the area is believed to have been inhabited since the bronze age) and an extensive area of 'boggy' marsh (see WARNING below). Most non birdwatchers visit the reserve in early summer to see the flowering 'English' Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) that flower over a wide area, NOTE the flowering here is approximately a month later due to the high elevation of the site compared to lower level Bluebells. For birdwatchers it has an excellent bird list that includes Cuculo, Lucherino, Beccafico, Bigiarella, Sterpazzola, Codirosso, Pispola, Stiaccino, Culbianco, Merlo dal collare, Prispolone and Beccaccino amongst many others. The reserve is only like it is today due to the hard work of a 'band' of volunteers, who have opened up areas and built signage and boardwalks to enable access to more areas.
