North Warren and Minsmere 13th May 2001 |
A very warm and sunny day for our last coach trip of the season.
North Warren
This delightful reserve on the Suffolk coast consists of grazing marshes, reedbeds, heathland and woodland. Thousands of wildfowl use the marshes in winter while summer brings breeding marsh harriers, woodlarks, nightjars, nightingales and bearded tits. Look out for the many species of butterflies and dragonflies.?
How to find the reserve
