Opis
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 szablodziób and terns. In winter śnieguła, rzepołuch, brodziec śniady, perkoz rogaty, bernikla obrożna, ges zbozowa, lodówka 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 ostrygojad, siewka złota, kulik wielki, krwawodziób as well as warzęcha, czapla biała and czapla nadobna, and rare passerines such as srokosz, jarzębatka, świstunka żółtawa, drozd obrożny and muchołówka żałobna may turn up.
