Minsmere RSPB Reserve

I can spend hours here in the hides looking out at The Scrape, The Levels up in the Tree Canopy or Bittern Hide or just walking on the seashore, we have to be so lucky to have this in our county. On the numerous visits I have made to here I have never been disappointed.

You can sometimes see and here the very rare Bittern, watch Marsh Harriers either soaring or finding their prey, the Avocets with their upturned bills and graceful lines and among these beds The Bearded Tit family plus so much more
