Descrizione
The lagoons attract waterfowl but the mudflats are the main attraction, particularly on a rising tide, when waders are driven landwards and geese commute to feed inland.
In spring, Gabbiano comune and Avocetta take up residence on the islands. Wading birds in their colourful breeding plumage pass through on their way to the Arctic. Barbagianni can been seen at dawn and dusk hunting over the saltmarsh.
In summer on the islands, Sterna comune are at the height of their breeding activity. Later in the summer, flocks of Piovanello maggiore wheel in vast numbers at sunset.
Autumn sees thousands of thrushes and finches migrate overhead. Fischione and Oca colombaccio start to arrive back from breeding grounds, calling noisily to each other.
In winter, huge numbers of waterfowl gather on the lagoons and out in The Wash, while Falco pellegrino and Albanella reale actively hunt on the saltmarsh. Quattrocchi also gather on the lagoons and begin displaying in preparation for the coming spring.

Accesso
From the carpark, access is by foot along muddy footpaths to the coast, where the paths are drier. Snettisham has three wildlife observation hides (two are all-weather and wheelchair friendly), all offering views across the lagoons and one has dual aspect views across lagoons and The Wash.
