About
This small nature reserve is a great place for marshland bird watching on a circular walk around reedbeds, fens and pools. In spring and summer, Marsh Harriers, Kingfishers and warblers can be seen, while wildflowers provide a riot of colour. The site floods in winter, attracting Bitterns and Gadwalls.
