Beschrijving

Heathland as a habitat is fairly rare in Norfolk, so Buxton Heath is a real diamond in the rough. It has lots of paths and trails to walk on, and is a fabulous place to experience the sounds of singing Boomleeuwerik on a spring day, and if you're lucky, churring Nachtzwaluw at dusk!

In the winter, the bog areas are home to Houtsnip, Watersnip and small numbers of Bokje. You may find Geelgors and Roodborsttapuit while wandering the trails. In some winters, Kruisbek, Blauwe Kiekendief and very occasionally Klapekster may all be found here!

In spring and summer, listen out for the song of Taigaboomkruiper and Boomklever in the woodland areas. Fitis and Graspieper can be heard along the trails, while Boomvalk may be seen overhead. This is a fantastic reserve to explore if you're in the area and have some time to spare.
