Beschrijving
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, Kokmeeuw and Kluut take up residence on the islands. Wading birds in their colourful breeding plumage pass through on their way to the Arctic. Kerkuil can been seen at dawn and dusk hunting over the saltmarsh.
In summer on the islands, Visdief are at the height of their breeding activity. Later in the summer, flocks of Kanoet wheel in vast numbers at sunset.
Autumn sees thousands of thrushes and finches migrate overhead. Smient and Rotgans 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 Slechtvalk and Blauwe Kiekendief actively hunt on the saltmarsh. Brilduiker also gather on the lagoons and begin displaying in preparation for the coming spring.

Toegang
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.

It's worth checking the RSPB website (see the link below) for guided walks, particularly when winter high tides occur around dawn. At this time, large numbers of geese fly inland overhead.
