Description
Mersehaed is an extensive wetland and saltmarsh area. Good for breeding waders, wintering waterfowl and year-round birdwatching. Winter brings the arrival of thousands of geese to the reserve itself, while the Solway is home to tens of thousands of waders. Natterjack Toads can be heard on summer evenings.
