Golden Plover

Ramble through wide-open spaces, watching for Lapwings and Wheatears, as the Galloway Hills look on in the distance.

This is a rolling, rugged expanse of precious peatland and mountain scenery where lizards scurry and Hen Harriers soar.

Take in a backdrop of hills, woods and water as you wander around Dove Stone reservoir on a circular walk.

Leave bustling Oxford behind and venture into the tranquil wetland reserve of Otmoor. Wading birds and wildfowl await, alongside warblers and other songbirds.

Splash around in Tetney Marshes, a wetland paradise for waders and wildfowl where Redshanks thrive in the saltmarsh.

West Sedgemoor is closed to visitors to protect the wildlife that lives here. To enjoy the wonderful variety this sprawling place has to offer, wander the public footpaths around the edge for fantastic views and a chance to spot Common Cranes and hedgerow birds and butterflies.

Wildfowl and wading birds flock to Berney Marshes and Breydon Water in their tens of thousands – look out for Wigeons, Lapwings and Pink-footed Geese.
