Part of the wider NWT Hickling Broad area, the Rush Hill Scrape circuit is well worth a visit, with fewer birders around than on the main reserve.
Rush Hill Scrape is on the south side of NWT Hickling, and offers wetland, reedbed and wet woodland habitats boasting all of the iconic broadland species. It is possible to see Trana, rördrom brun kärrhök and skäggmes here at any time of year, when walking the paths alongside the reedbed. The wet woodland offers opportunities to find entita and trädkrypare, while the surrounding farmland supports several gulsparv.
In spring and autumn, Rush Hill Scrape can be a fantastic place to look for passage waders. You may find brushane, kärrsnäppa, rödbena, gluttsnäppa, drillsnäppa, skogssnäppa, större strandpipare and possibly something rarer. You may potentially see something rarer if the water levels a low, such as grönbena, småsnäppa, spovsnäppa, kustsnäppa, roskarl or svartsnäppa. You can chance upon skedstork any time from March to October here also.
The scrape is a great place to find årta in the spring, while fisktärna, svarttärna and even småtärna have been known to drop in occasionally too! Listen out for the song of lövsångare along the trails in the summer months, as well as rörsångare and sävsångare.
The winter is quiter at the site, but lucky observers may glipse a morkulla in the wet woodland, while knipa can be found on the broad and there are usually large numbers of Kricka on the scrape.
Park in Potter Heigham Village, either at the village hall or by the church (but not directly in front of the church itself). The trails can be muddy in the wet woodland during the winter. The paths may also be overgrown during the summer, so wear long trousers as ticks are in the area.
