Beskrivning
Elmley has ideal habitat for wildfowl and waders. In the winter there are thousands of bläsand with plenty of Kricka, snatterand and a good sprinkling of Skedand, gravand, stjärtand, snatterand and also geese. grågås predominate but there are also bläsgås and prutgås.
At the right time of year it is possible to see 20 species of waders. brushane, ljungpipare and rödbena are usually present. On passage, look out for svartsnäppa, gluttsnäppa, grönbena, skogssnäppa and many more.
Naturally this rich diversity of birds attracts predators. On a good day you may see stenfalk, Pilgrimsfalk, blå kärrhök, jorduggla or even hornuggla. brun kärrhök are virtually guaranteed. Occasionally a fjällvråk appears but be careful before claiming one as there have been some very pale ormvråk, too.
Passerines are more of a feature on migration - buskskvätta, stenskvätta and others can be found in season. Keep your eyes and ears open and you may well find something unexpected.
Detaljer
Tillgänglighet
The reserve is accessed from the small road (Sheppey Way) that goes over the old road bridge onto the Isle of Sheppey. There is an RSPB sign pointing to the entrance. (With the logo removed!) It's a difficult place to reach by public transport - be prepared for some walking. Swale is the nearest railway station. Some of the best birding is actually along the entrance track. Scan the fence posts for raptors! If you walk you are likely to flush everything within quite some distance of the track - and are likely to upset the many photographers who like to use their cars as 'hides'.
