Beskrivning
Blue House Farm is a nature reserve managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust. As you leave the small gravel car park, through the first of many gates, the landscape opens up to series of mix grazing meadows. The live stock here help manage the grasslands. Conservation grazing and fresh water flooding has transformed this 287 hectares site.
In the winter the landscape is feeding ground to thousands of prutgås, and numbers of grågås, vitkindad gås plus kanadagås all can be seen.
A massive fencing project has made it safe for birds to feed and breed with out ground preditors disturbance. The flooded reed lined scrape areas have three hides from which you can view many wading and water bird species. Breeding skärfläcka and tofsvipa. The reeds beds have skäggmes, sävsångare and rörsångare. The flooded scrape is great for migrating waders such as skogssnäppa, gluttsnäppa, svartsnäppa, rödspov and brushane. The waders can be seen moving between the flooded areas and the estuary when the tide is low feeding on the food rich mud flats. Such species as storspov, gravand, kärrsnäppa, Silkeshäger and the odd ägretthäger. At high tide småskrake, Smådopping and skäggdopping are common here.
Summer time kornsparv, Sävsparv and sånglärka will be breeding across the reserve.
Raptors will include, tornfalk, ormvråk, brun kärrhök, wintering blå kärrhök and the occasional lärkfalk. Many rare species have turned up on this amazing site and well worth a visit during migration both spring and autumn.
