Description
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 Küçük Tarla Kazı, Fiyu and Çamurcun, many Ötücü kuğu, and occasional rarer birds such as Ak kazı, Amerika Fiyusu and Green-winged Teal. It is also excellent for wintering birds of prey such as Gökçe delice, Gök doðan and Boz doğan. Waders such as Çamurçulluğu, Döşüşkenkuş and Kızılbacak can be seen from hides as well as rarer smaller birds such as Dağ ispinozu in the woodlands.
