Description of Habitat & Facilities

For closer encounters of the 3rd kind with 100’s of Mute Swans, this place is unrivalled! Go during the breeding season, and you will walk or wheel past nesting swans (not for the fainthearted), but they assure me nobody has been injured yet! Disabled birders can drive up to the Swannery. The reserve is more than just swans, there are hides over the Fleet (we saw Black-necked Grebes in autumn) and the path takes you around several reed-lined pools. A fascinating place, well worth a visit.
