This is one of the newest RSPB nature reserves comprising over 700 hectares (1730) acres of saltmarsh, mudflats, sea banks, a lagoon (picture below) and a managed realignment area. The reserve was created thanks to coastal defence works and European funding. The realignment area will become saltmarsh now the old sea bank has been breached and the sea is allowed back in to this formerly intertidal area. The lagoon will also become saline and should attract breeding and roosting waterbirds. The reserve is fast becoming a very good place to watch birds, with lapland buntings, twites and a host of wader species already recorded including several pairs of avocet. DIRECTIONS:- Freiston Shore Plummers Car Park-A52 travelling east from Boston, turn right at the Castle Pub Haltoft End. Continue through Freiston for about 2 miles. Car park access ( a concrete slope) is between Plummers Mews and a telephone box. There are RSPB direction signs to the reserve from the main road to follow. Freiston Shore Butterwick Pullover-As above except turn right at minor junction (after phone box). Follow road for 1 mile to another junction and turn right. Car park at end of road.
