Beskrivning
The lagoons attract waterfowl but the mudflats are the main attraction, particularly on a rising tide, when waders are driven landwards and geese commute to feed inland.
In spring, skrattmås and skärfläcka take up residence on the islands. Wading birds in their colourful breeding plumage pass through on their way to the Arctic. Tornuggla can been seen at dawn and dusk hunting over the saltmarsh.
In summer on the islands, fisktärna are at the height of their breeding activity. Later in the summer, flocks of kustsnäppa wheel in vast numbers at sunset.
Autumn sees thousands of thrushes and finches migrate overhead. bläsand and prutgås start to arrive back from breeding grounds, calling noisily to each other.
In winter, huge numbers of waterfowl gather on the lagoons and out in The Wash, while Pilgrimsfalk and blå kärrhök actively hunt on the saltmarsh. knipa also gather on the lagoons and begin displaying in preparation for the coming spring.
