VISITORS will be going to Minsmere in Suffolk in a few months' time to see the stars of BBC’s Springwatch for themselves, but the county has many other locations for birdwatching.
Aside from Minsmere, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) manages a number of other reserves in the area including Havergate Island, which has a second nature reserve on what is the largest vegetated shingle spit in Europe.
Inland, RSPB Lakenheath Fen is one of the few places in the UK where golden orioles breed.
Not far from Southwold, Suffolk Wildlife Trust manages Benacre Broad, a great place to see winter waders on the River Hundred. A few miles down the coast, you might see East Anglian favourites including avocet, bittern, and marsh harriers at the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve (NNR). Open all year round, the site has a public footpath and bird hide. The NNR also covers Dingle Marshes where otters, one of five species of deer, and natterjack toads can be seen.
The Suffolk Owl Sanctuary is open to the public all year round. As well as providing critical care and convalescence for injured wild owls and other birds of prey, the sanctuary has more than 80 raptors. Fully wheelchair-friendly, it also has a sensory garden and gives visitors to get lose with various species of owl, as well as a family group of meerkats, and a number of red squirrels.
