About
Due to the ongoing drought in the area, the whole reserve is very dry. Please see our Facebook page for the latest sightings, but be aware the bird spectacle is reduced compared to previous years. For a good variety of wading birds, please visit nearby RSPB Freiston Shore.
A section of the Wash Trail, on the seabank from behind East Hide to the Seabank Viewpoint, is currently closed to the public die to flood defense works by the Enviroment Agency. We are informed this will continue until mid-late November. All other paths are open.
Blessed with a variety of freshwater habitats, Frampton Marsh provides close views of the abundant birdlife of The Wash - the biggest bay in England. Avocets, Redshanks and Skylarks can all be seen in summer, with thousands of ducks gathering on the freshwater scrapes in winter.
This is a landscape surrounded by waters teeming with life. The reserve is set against the shore of The Wash, the UK’s most important estuary for birds. Explore freshwater wetlands, reedbeds, wet grasslands and large shallow pools known as scrapes.
