Opis

Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve is located between the villages of Titchwell and Thornham in the northern part of Norfolk. There are many types of habitat located in this reserve which makes it a beautiful place for birders to watch many species of shorebird and songbird all year long.

The area consists of four major areas: Titchwell Woodlands, Titchwell Lagoons, Titchwell Marshes and Titchwell Beach.

The woodlands near the parking lot and the visitors center are great for many species of songbird. In summer, these woodland are packed with species, like kapturka, gajówka, pierwiosnek, piecuszek and many more. There are multiple feeding stations on which these beautiful birds can be easily observed. In winter, the woodland area is a great place for wintering finches and thrushes, like czeczotka, jer and gil.

After the woodland area, the marshlands make way for extensive reedbeds and freshwater ponds. These parts are great for wąsatka, bąk, błotniak stawowy and wodnik (zwyczajny). The small ponds are also great for perkozek and small numbers of ducks, like cyraneczka. Several larger waterbodies are located between these marshlands and the freshwater lagoons. Here, many species of goose and duck can be found, like hełmiatka, Płaskonos, rożeniec and cyraneczka.

The freshwater lagoon is probably the best part of the nature reserve. The first lagoon has two birdhides and provide a great view on the mudflats. These mudflats can be jam-packed full of birds, being mainly waders and ducks and especially during high tide. Large numbers of siewka złota, szlamnik, biegus rdzawy, biegus zmienny, szablodziób and many more can be seen here. This is also a great spot for scarcer species, like biegus krzywodzioby, siewnica and łęczak. In summer, roosting rybitwa czubata can be observed here too. The edges of the lagoon are covered with reedbeds. Species like wodnik (zwyczajny) and pliszka górska can be seen foraging here.

To the West, you'll have a great view over extensive salt marshes. These are a great habitat for species like bernikla obrożna, gęś krótkodzioba and czapla nadobna. Small puddles are visible from the path and are great for waders too. With a bit of luck, a płomykówka (zwyczajna) might show itself.

The beach is a great place to observe seabirds. Small flocks of markaczka can be seen in a distance. Other species like szlachar and edredon will be visible too. Terns, like rybitwa czubata and rybitwa rzeczna can be seen foraging near the coast.
