Beskrivning

Excellent Birdwatching of 170 acres (69 hectares) maintained by Kent Wildlife Trust. Important for migratory, overwintering and breeding wetland birds, the reserve consists of grazing marsh (one of a few left in Kent) with freshwater dykes, open water scrapes, reedbed, saltmarsh and seawall. Highland cattle and Konik horses graze on the reserve and there are also two viewing hides for observing wildlife. Oare Marshes has seen an impressive number of rarities and regularly plays host to sought-after birds, particularly waders and wildfowl and is also good for migrants that are scarce in the southeast. Around 250 species are possible most years.

Winter is good to see a variety of ducks, grebes, herons and resident waders, roosting gulls and some raptors. In spring you can see skäggmes, skärfläcka, waders and ducks. In summer you can see turturduva and mindre strandpipare and lots of warblers. Especially autumn is good for waders and passing migrants like spovsnäppa, kärrsnäppa, svartsnäppa, småsnäppa, småspov and gluttsnäppa.
