Beschrijving

Martin Mere is a Site of Special Interest. The name of the centre comes from the mere on the west side of the reserve, which is ringed by more than ten observation hides. This reserve is at its best in winter, attracting huge flocks of Kleine Rietgans, Smient and Wintertaling, many Wilde Zwaan, and occasional rarer birds such as Sneeuwgans, Amerikaanse Smient and Amerikaanse wintertaling. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as Blauwe Kiekendief, Slechtvalk and Smelleken. Waders such as Grutto, Kemphaan and Tureluur can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as Keep in the woodlands.
