Pintail

There’s so much to explore at Mersehead. We have freshwater pools, woodland, farmland, mudflats and a fabulous beach. Why not take part in our Big Wild Summer activity trail to see what you can discover?

Stand at the northernmost tip of Wales and feel on the edge of the world, among Wheatears, Wagtails, warblers and a lighthouse that watches over sweeping sea views.

Explore the shores of the vast and rugged Lough Foyle, watching as Peregrines harry waders and Otters fish in the lough's nooks and crannies.

Hop on a boat from Orford Quay and join us on the tiny island of Havergate. Rich in wildlife, discover Avocets, Barn Owls, Wheatears and much more. At the end of the day, it's just a short boat trip back to shore.

Sit on a bench beneath the vast open skies above The Loons, close your eyes and enter a different world, alive with bird calls. This is a wonderful landscape, rich with many wild species.

Pagham Harbour is a glorious and peaceful nature reserve, one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast. Watch Black-tailed Godwits and Little Egrets by day, then linger when skies are clear for an amazing sunset.
