Beskrivning
This reserve on the River Yare has a mix of wetlands, woodlands and meadows, with great birding all year round. Spring is the best time to see cettisångare, sävsångare, gräshoppsångare and gök, as well as hearing the booming call of the resident rördrom and seeing the display flights of the brun kärrhök. During summer, you might spot a hunting lärkfalk or Tornuggla, and the resident kungsfiskare are most active in the warmer months. In autumn, Fiskgjuse are regular on passage and skäggmes flock together, as do thousands of stare. Winter brings peak wildfowl numbers and more rördrom from the continent, plus large flocks of grönsiska and brunsiska, occasionally hosting a rarer finch species. The harrier roost also reaches its peak, sometimes including blå kärrhök. The reserve also has resident Chinese water deer and otters.
