Description
This small but very special nature reserve offers birders the chance to see a wealth of reedbed specialists, as well as a brilliant variety of invertebrates including Swallowtail Butterfly and Norfolk Hawker Dragonfly.
In the winter, look out for Slørugle quartering the reedbed on cold, still evenings. The woodland holds Sumpmejse, Dompap and other common garden birds. You will likely see Rørhøg around the reserve too. In the spring, listen out for the iconic sounds of Gøg as well as a whole host of warblers including Cettisanger, Sivsanger, Rørsanger, Græshoppesanger and Løvsanger.
In summer and autumn, you may encounter roaming flocks of Skægmejse in the reeds, while Lærkefalk will be hawking for dragonflies overhead. This is a very peaceful reserve, especially in early mornings and evenings, so is a fantastic place to get your dose of nature therapy.
