East Anglia  >  United Kingdom

Between the village and the sea there are two good birding places within a mile of each other; the NOA's Holme Bird Observatory and NWT's Holme Dunes.

Descripción

This substantial area of dunes, saltmarsh, tidal mudflats, sea, freshwater and reedbeds lies just east of The Wash and attracts numerous migrant waders and passerines, winter wildfowl, and breeding birds.

First to be seen when arriving by road is Norfolk Wildlife Trust's Holme Dunes Reserve. Here there is a Visitor Centre, cafe, disabled parking, gift shop and several hides, one with disabled access. Children enter free and there are educational resources. Breeding birds include Avoceta Común and terns. In winter Escribano Nival, Pardillo Piquigualdo, Archibebe Oscuro, Zampullín Cuellirrojo, Barnacla Carinegra, Ánsar Campestre, Pato Havelda and other rarities visit.

A mile further east is the Bird Observatory and bird ringing station run by Norfolk Ornithologists' Trust. An early autumn visit may produce thousands of waders such as Ostrero Euroasiático, Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Zarapito Real, Archibebe Común as well as Espátula Común, Garceta Grande and Garceta Común, and rare passerines such as Alcaudón Norteño, Curruca Gavilana, Mosquitero Bilistado, Mirlo Capiblanco and Papamoscas Cerrojillo may turn up.
