Description
Heathland as a habitat is fairly rare in Norfolk, so Buxton Heath is a real diamond in the rough. It has lots of paths and trails to walk on, and is a fabulous place to experience the sounds of singing Trelerke on a spring day, and if you're lucky, churring Nattravn at dusk!
In the winter, the bog areas are home to Rugde, Enkeltbekkasin and small numbers of Kvartbekkasin. You may find Gulspurv and Svartstrupe while wandering the trails. In some winters, Grankorsnebb, Myrhauk and very occasionally Varsler may all be found here!
In spring and summer, listen out for the song of Trekryper and Spettmeis in the woodland areas. Løvsanger and Heipiplerke can be heard along the trails, while Lerkefalk may be seen overhead. This is a fantastic reserve to explore if you're in the area and have some time to spare.
