Descrizione

Blessed with a variety of freshwater habitats, Frampton Marsh provides close views of the abundant birdlife of The Wash, one of Europe's most special places for wildlife. Avocetta, Pettegola, Allodola and Chiurlo piccolo can all be seen in summer, with thousands of ducks gathering on the freshwater scrapes in winter. Great all year but especially on wader migration from August to October.

The winter can be spectacular, with thousands of ducks, Oca colombaccio, Pavoncella and Piviere dorato all packed onto the wet grasslands. Cigno selvatico roost on the reedbed each night and with luck you may see a small flock of Fanello nordico, or even the elusive Zigolo della Lapponia.

In spring, passage and breeding waders, including a large Avocetta colony, can be seen on the freshwater scrapes and wet grasslands.

Summer is a fantastic time of year for passage waders. Frampton provides one of the best opportunities to see common and scarce waders in the UK. The saltmarsh is alive with colour at this time of year - it's the best time to see hunting Falco di palude.

In autumn, the first returning Oca colombaccio can be seen grazing on the saltmarsh and wet grasslands. The highest tides of the year are in September and these can force thousands of waders to roost on the wet grasslands and freshwater scrapes. Martin pescatore take up a winter residence in the tidal creeks of the marsh and on the wetland ditches.
