Beschreibung
Blue House Farm is a nature reserve managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust. As you leave the small gravel car park, through the first of many gates, the landscape opens up to series of mix grazing meadows. The live stock here help manage the grasslands. Conservation grazing and fresh water flooding has transformed this 287 hectares site.
In the winter the landscape is feeding ground to thousands of Ringelgans, and numbers of Graugans, Weißwangengans plus Kanadagans all can be seen.
A massive fencing project has made it safe for birds to feed and breed with out ground preditors disturbance. The flooded reed lined scrape areas have three hides from which you can view many wading and water bird species. Breeding Säbelschnäbler and Kiebitz. The reeds beds have Bartmeise, Schilfrohrsänger and Teichrohrsänger. The flooded scrape is great for migrating waders such as Waldwasserläufer, Grünschenkel, Dunkler Wasserläufer, Uferschnepfe and Kampfläufer. The waders can be seen moving between the flooded areas and the estuary when the tide is low feeding on the food rich mud flats. Such species as Großer Brachvogel, Brandgans, Alpenstrandläufer, Seidenreiher and the odd Silberreiher. At high tide Mittelsäger, Zwergtaucher and Haubentaucher are common here.
Summer time Grauammer, Rohrammer and Feldlerche will be breeding across the reserve.
Raptors will include, Turmfalke, Mäusebussard, Rohrweihe, wintering Kornweihe and the occasional Baumfalke. Many rare species have turned up on this amazing site and well worth a visit during migration both spring and autumn.
