Beskrivning
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 trädlärka on a spring day, and if you're lucky, churring nattskärra at dusk!
In the winter, the bog areas are home to morkulla, enkelbeckasin and small numbers of dvärgbeckasin. You may find gulsparv and svarthakad buskskvätta while wandering the trails. In some winters, Mindre korsnäbb, blå kärrhök and very occasionally Varfågel may all be found here!
In spring and summer, listen out for the song of trädkrypare and Nötväcka in the woodland areas. lövsångare and ängspiplärka can be heard along the trails, while lärkfalk may be seen overhead. This is a fantastic reserve to explore if you're in the area and have some time to spare.
