Descripción
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 Ánsar piquicorto, Silbón Europeo and Cerceta Común, many Cisne Cantor, and occasional rarer birds such as Ánsar nival, Silbón Americano and Green-winged Teal. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as Aguilucho pálido, Halcón Peregrino and Esmerejón. Waders such as Aguja Colinegra, Combatiente and Archibebe Común can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as Pinzón Real in the woodlands.
