Descrição

Carlton Marshes lie in the Waveney Valley at the southern tip of the Norfolk Broads and is part of the Suffolk Broads. It comprises a jigsaw of grazing marsh, fens, peat pools, short fen meadow, tall fen (called 'tall litter fen'), dykes, pools and scrub. Mostly man-made, these habitats have developed over hundreds of years of traditional management and now host specialised wildlife.

This reserve is a paradise for marsh land birds and birds of prey including Ógea and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis. The reserve is one of the best sites in East Anglia to see Felosa-malhada. The reed and sedge beds along the river wall make ideal nesting cover for rouxinol-dos-caniços and Felosa-dos-juncos, Felosa-unicolor, Chapim-de-bigode and Rouxinol-bravo. The grazing marshes are also ideal for wintering wildfowl and breeding waders with Abibe-comum and Perna-vermelha-comum displaying through the spring and large numbers of Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum and Narceja-comum in winter.

Informação extra

Carlton Marshes bought a new piece of land (Peto's marsh) in 2018 and is has created a vast wetland on it. Observatories and new trails have been created. This is a huge improvement on the already massive potential of the reserve, very exciting for all wetland species!
