Description

Great birdwatching spot on the outskirts of Wells-next-the-Sea. Well seen on the trip down the dirt track. Two large scrapes. One either side of track. Fantastic for migration waders. Formerly arable land has been flooded here. The resulting pools have become known as North Point and have drawn an impressive range of wader species. Tall, dense hedgerows here also attract Yellowhammer.
