Little Tern

This old iron mine has been transformed by nature, with insects and wildflowers thriving on the leftover limestone and breeding terns bringing new life to the lagoon islands.

A rich patchwork of wetland habitats where waterbirds thrive – look out for Dark-bellied Brent Geese, terns and Whimbrels, as well as passing birds of prey.

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.
