Beschrijving

Nene Wetlands Nature Reserve is an extensive series of shallow and deep open waters that are surrounded with a wide range of marginal features, such as sparsely vegetated islands, gravel bars and shorelines, and habitats including reed swamp, marsh, wet ditches, rush pasture, rough grassland and scattered scrub. This range of habitat and the varied topography of the lagoons provide valuable nesting, resting and feeding conditions to sustain nationally important numbers and assemblages of breeding and wintering birds. Nene Wetlands are an excellent site for winter wildfowl, autumn waders, and breeding passerines.
