The Swineham, Wareham Water Meadows peninsula extends East from the town of Wareham towards Wareham Channel.
At the center of the site is a number of large lakes, once used as gravel pits. Just to the East is Swineham Point overlooking saltmarsh, reedbeds and Wareham Channel. The large area of water meadows are prone to flooding following long periods of rain, especially in Winter. The old gravel pits can hold Oie cendrée, Bernache du Canada, Canard siffleur, Canard chipeau, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard souchet, Fuligule morillon, Foulque macroule, Grèbe castagneux, Grèbe huppé, Canard pilet, Fuligule milouin, Fuligule milouinan, Grèbe jougris, Grèbe esclavon and the occasional Plongeon catmarin. At low tide Wareham Channel holds feeding Bécasseau variable, Courlis cendré, Chevalier gambette, Huîtrier pie, Pluvier argenté, Chevalier aboyeur, Avocette élégante and Barge à queue noire many of which use the water meadows as a high tide roost. Check all Gull (Laridae) flocks carefully for more unusual species such as Goéland leucophée and Goéland à bec cerclé. The Wareham Channel is known for both Balbuzard pêcheur and Pygargue à queue blanche since the recent reintroductions in Poole Harbour and the Isle of Wight.
