Description
On a ridge above the Thames Marshes, Northward Hill nature reserve offers miles of trails, marshes and hayfields, bustling with birds. Northward Hill is a working farm, with grazing cows and sheep. In summer, there’s plenty of wildlife to enjoy in the day and evening, including butterflies and dragonflies, bats and moths. The scrubland is rich in Rossignol philomèle and Fauvette grisette. You can see birds of prey like Busard des roseaux and Faucon hobereau that hunt dragonflies over the marsh. Avocette élégante nest on reservoir islands. In winter, large numbers wildfowl gather on marshland floods and there is a huge roost of Corbeau freux and Choucas des tours at dusk. 4,000 Corbeau freux look spectacular as they prepare to roost in wood. Wintering thrushes, finches and buntings gather in scrub. Grive mauvis and Grive litorne can be seen in the orchards below wood. You could also encounter a Hibou des marais.
