Beschreibung
Martin Mere is a Site of Special Interest. The name of the centre comes from the mere on the west side of the reserve, which is ringed by more than ten observation hides. This reserve is at its best in winter, attracting huge flocks of Kurzschnabelgans, Pfeifente and Krickente, many Singschwan, and occasional rarer birds such as Schneegans, Kanadapfeifente and Green-winged Teal. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as Kornweihe, Wanderfalke and Merlin. Waders such as Uferschnepfe, Kampfläufer and Rotschenkel can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as Bergfink in the woodlands.
