Beskrivning
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 skärfläcka and terns. In winter snösparv, vinterhämpling, svartsnäppa, svarthakedopping, prutgås, tajgasädgås, alfågel 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 strandskata, ljungpipare, storspov, rödbena as well as skedstork, ägretthäger and Silkeshäger, and rare passerines such as Varfågel, höksångare, tajgasångare, ringtrast and svartvit flugsnappare may turn up.
