Descrição
Since its creation in 2018, this site has attracted a wide variety of wetland and reedbed dwelling birds, and being so close to the NWT Hickling Reserve and the Norfolk coast, it has so much potential to turn up rarities. The site offers a top selection of birds to see throughout the year including Grou-comum, Garça-branca-grande, Colhereiro, Chapim-de-bigode and Rouxinol-bravo.
In winter, the site hosts flocks of Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca which can be seen gathering on Heigham Holmes. The scrapes are home to Petinha-ribeirinha and in some years, high water levels mean diving ducks like Zarro-negrinha and Zarro-comum may be found among the usual dabblers Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum, Pato-trombeteiro and smaller numbers of Arrabio. The scrapes may host some wintering waders including Maçarico-de-bico-direito and Tarambola-dourada.
In spring and summer, Marreco may be seen here and Alfaiate arrive back in large numbers to set up homes on the scrapes. The site comes into its own during spring and autumn wader passage, when a huge selections of wading birds may be found. Usual suspects include Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Pilrito-pequeno, Pilrito-de-bico-comprido, Rola-do-mar, Pilrito-sanderlingo, Seixoeira, Combatente, Maçarico-das-rochas, Pássaro-bique-bique, Maçarico-bastardo, Perna-vermelha-comum, Perna-verde-comum and Perna-vermelha-escuro. There is always a chance of finding something rarer too, such as Pilrito-peitoral, Pilrito de Temminck and Pernilongo!
Continuing on the rare birds front, the site has been host to a Gaivina-de-bico-vermelho several springs in a row, while Franga-d'água-grande have also been found here when the water levels are low enough. The site also attracts rarer herons such as Garca-vaqueira and even Socó-taquari! There's plenty to be seen at Potter Heigham Marshes, making it a site well worth a visit while it is in its prime.
Detalhes
Acesso
Park at the Potter Heigham Village Hall or near the Church, and walk down Marsh Lane to access the site. It is quite a long walk (about 4 km), so be prepared for this though.

NãoInformação extra
The site will eventually become reedbed, so its attractiveness to wading birds will dwindle over the next few years. It is worth a visit now while it is in its prime. The paths may be overgrown in some areas during the summer, so wear long trousers as ticks are in the area.
