Beschrijving
This substantial area of dunes, saltmarsh, tidal mudflats, sea, freshwater and reedbeds lies just east of The Wash and attracts numerous migrant waders and passerines, winter wildfowl, and breeding birds.
First to be seen when arriving by road is Norfolk Wildlife Trust's Holme Dunes Reserve. Here there is a Visitor Centre, cafe, disabled parking, gift shop and several hides, one with disabled access. Children enter free and there are educational resources. Breeding birds include Kluut and terns. In winter Sneeuwgors, Frater, Zwarte Ruiter, Kuifduiker, Rotgans, Taigarietgans, IJseend and other rarities visit.
A mile further east is the Bird Observatory and bird ringing station run by Norfolk Ornithologists' Trust. An early autumn visit may produce thousands of waders such as Scholekster, Goudplevier, Wulp, Tureluur as well as Lepelaar, Grote Zilverreiger and Kleine Zilverreiger, and rare passerines such as Klapekster, Sperwergrasmus, Bladkoning, Beflijster and Bonte Vliegenvanger may turn up.
