About the reserve

Anderby Marsh has been transformed from agricultural land into a nature reserve that is rich in wildlife and managed as a traditional coastal grazing marsh. It supports a range of conservation priority birds including lapwing, curlew, redshank, snipe, barn owl, starling and reed bunting. In recent years the marsh has attracted a couple of rare birds such as black-winged stilt and glossy ibis. Wigeon, teal and snipe are regular on the marsh in the winter months.

The adjacent reedbed fringes attract numerous reed, sedge and cetti’s warblers, and bearded tits. Marsh harrier is a regular sight in the summer as is cuckoo.
