Beskrivning
Martin Mere is a Site of Special Interest. The name of the centre comes from the mere on the west side of the reserve, which is ringed by more than ten observation hides. This reserve is at its best in winter, attracting huge flocks of spetsbergsgås, bläsand and Kricka, many sångsvan, and occasional rarer birds such as snögås, amerikansk bläsand and Amerikansk kricka. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as blå kärrhök, Pilgrimsfalk and stenfalk. Waders such as rödspov, brushane and rödbena can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as bergfink in the woodlands.
