Description
Rush Hill Scrape is on the south side of NWT Hickling, and offers wetland, reedbed and wet woodland habitats boasting all of the iconic broadland species. It is possible to see сив жерав, голем воден бик блатна еја and мустаклеста сипка here at any time of year, when walking the paths alongside the reedbed. The wet woodland offers opportunities to find мала црноглава сипка and обичен ползач, while the surrounding farmland supports several жолтогрла стрнарка.
In spring and autumn, Rush Hill Scrape can be a fantastic place to look for passage waders. You may find бојник, обичен свиркач, црвенонога тринга, зеленонога тринга, речна тринга, шарена тринга, среден пескар and possibly something rarer. You may potentially see something rarer if the water levels a low, such as шумска тринга, мал свиркач, белокрстен свиркач, Red Knot, камењарче or црна тринга. You can chance upon чапја лажичарка any time from March to October here also.
The scrape is a great place to find патка крецка in the spring, while речна чигра, црна рибарка and even мала чигра have been known to drop in occasionally too! Listen out for the song of брезов свиркач along the trails in the summer months, as well as трскар рогозар and мал трскар.
The winter is quiter at the site, but lucky observers may glipse a шумска шљука in the wet woodland, while четириока патка can be found on the broad and there are usually large numbers of патка берија on the scrape.

Access
Park in Potter Heigham Village, either at the village hall or by the church (but not directly in front of the church itself). The trails can be muddy in the wet woodland during the winter. The paths may also be overgrown during the summer, so wear long trousers as ticks are in the area.
