Descrizione
RSPB Surlingham Church Marshes is a small reserve which offers birders a short 2km circular walk, with a mixture of habitats that supports a wide variety of species throguhout the year, and boasts some of the more highly sought after birds in the Yare Valley! This peaceful reserve has something to offer throughout the year, and is well worth a couple of hours of your time if you are in the area.
In all seasons, the reedbed at the centre of the reserve is home to iconic species of the area including Falco di palude and Basettino, while the wet woodland is worth searching for Cincia bigia, Rampichino alpestre and Ciuffolotto. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a Martin pescatore whizzing up and down the river. You will hear Usignolo di fiume on most visits too.
In winter, paths around the reserve are susceptible to flooding and may also become muddy and slippery. Sturdy, waterproof footwear is highly recommended. However, it is also a great time to visit the reserve as large flocks of Storno will put on a fantasitc display at dusk as group together before they drop into the reedbed to roost. Colder weather will bring opprotunities to see elusive Tarabuso. It is worth scanning Postwick Marshes with a scope at this time of year, as Oca zamperosee and the rarer Oca lombardella can sometimes be found. The marshes are also frequented by hunting Falco pellegrino and Barbagianni. There are better reserves in the area to search for wildfowl, but Fischione and Alzavola are both often found along the riverbank and in the wet woodland. For the keen eyed spotters, the marshes accomodate Beccaccino, Frullino and Beccaccia.
Spring is a great time to visit Surlingham, as the sound of warbler song returns to the reedbed. You will be able to hear Cannaiola, Forapaglie comune and possibly even Forapaglie macchiettato. The resident Svasso maggiore will be displaying on the river. The wet woodland and scrub areas of the reserve will hold Capinera, Sterpazzola and potentially Cuculo. Scanning over to Postwick Marshes, waders including Pavoncella and Beccaccia di mare may be seen, while Piro piro piccolo can be spotted on the riverbank.
Summer is a great time to see and hear families of Basettino roaming the reedbed, while looking up in the sky may reveal hawking Lodolaio, Rondone comune and flocks of Rondine, Balestruccio and Topino. Postwick Marshes sometimes holds Cutrettola.
Autumn can be quiet at Surlingham, however, there is always a chance of finding returning Tordo sassello and Cesena. It is always worth locating flocks of Codibugnolo in the wet woodland, as there is chance of finding something rarer with them. Herons including the locally scarce Airone bianco maggiore may be seen from the hide. The marshland areas may hold families of Saltimpalo. Visitors to the reserve are encouraged to share their sightings on the board in the hide.
