Beschrijving
Carlton Marshes lie in the Waveney Valley at the southern tip of the Norfolk Broads and is part of the Suffolk Broads. It comprises a jigsaw of grazing marsh, fens, peat pools, short fen meadow, tall fen (called 'tall litter fen'), dykes, pools and scrub. Mostly man-made, these habitats have developed over hundreds of years of traditional management and now host specialised wildlife.
This reserve is a paradise for marsh land birds and birds of prey including Boomvalk and Bruine Kiekendief. The reserve is one of the best sites in East Anglia to see Sprinkhaanzanger. The reed and sedge beds along the river wall make ideal nesting cover for Kleine Karekiet and Rietzanger, Snor, Baardman and Cetti's Zanger. The grazing marshes are also ideal for wintering wildfowl and breeding waders with Kievit and Tureluur displaying through the spring and large numbers of Smient, Wintertaling and Watersnip in winter.

Carlton Marshes bought a new piece of land (Peto's marsh) in 2018 and is has created a vast wetland on it. Observatories and new trails have been created. This is a huge improvement on the already massive potential of the reserve, very exciting for all wetland species!
