About the reserve

Situated on the north bank of the tidal River Crouch, this small nature reserve has a surprising diversity of habitats, allowing a variety of wildlife to thrive.

During spring listen for the birdsong erupting from the dense scrub, as over 70 species have been recorded here, with around half of these breeding on or near the nature reserve. The summer months see Banded Demoiselle and Emerald Damselflies darting over the two large ponds, whilst a good number of Roesel’s Bush-crickets hop amongst the rough grassland.
