FRAMPTON MARSH

The reserve comprises 366 hectares (906  acres) of saltmarsh, mudflats and sea banks. The saltmarsh is the second oldset in the Wash, being 130 years old. The reserve is managed by traditional  grazing during the summer to maintain a mosaic of habitats for breeding redshanks and wintering dark-bellied brent geese. It is a good place to see  birds of prey with merlins, hen harriers and short-eared owls all regular in winter.
