For a great day out in
beautiful scenery, why not visit RSPB Minsmere nature
reserve? The visitor centre includes a shop and tearoom,
and there is an extensive guided walks programme throughout
the year, to help you to learn more about the reserve's
wildlife.
Minsmere is the best place in Britain to look for bitterns,
while marsh harriers should be seen on any visit. During
spring and summer, you can see avocets and common terns
nesting on the Scrape.
Nightingales sing during the spring, and in autumn, the
rutting red deer make an impressive sight. Winter is an
excellent time to visit the Suffolk coast, with thousands
of ducks on the reserve, and large starling flocks at
dusk. |
