Close-up views of The Wash’s abundant birdlife and freshwater habitats

Frampton Marsh is an internationally important landscape, providing habitats for wintering Wildfowl and migrating and breeding Waders. There are a variety of fresh water habitats – avocet, redshank, skylark and whimbrels can be seen in summer, with thousands of ducks gathering in the scrapes in winter.

Expect to see good numbers of avocet in the spring and summer, as well as large flocks of lapwing. In the winter hunting hen harrier and brent geese. Redshank are a real success story here with more than 200 pairs nesting regularly.
