Opis

RSPB Buckenham Marshes is known for being one of only two places in the UK where a small flock of ges zbozowa regularly spends the winter. Its sister species the gęś tundrowa can turn up as well. Many gęś krótkodzioba and gęś białoczelna also winter here.

Cantley Marshes is essentially an extension of the reserve further down river and the ges zbozowa may be anywhere in the area. The wintering geese are joined by several thousand świstun, czajka, siewka złota and gawron, as well as hundreds of cyraneczka. These may attract birds of prey such as sokół wędrowny and błotniak stawowy, creating a spectacle as they cause large flocks of birds to take to the sky.

In spring, the świstun leave and the area comes alive with breeding migrant and resident waders including czajka, krwawodziób, kszyk, szablodziób and ostrygojad. płomykówka (zwyczajna) also breed here and can be seen hunting in daylight in the summer. In autumn, a variety of waders can be seen on passage, including the likes of biegus malutki, batalion, biegus krzywodzioby and samotnik, with the pools by Cantley Sugar Factory being a particularly good site for them. There are also plenty of Chinese water deer in the area.
