RSPB Ham Wall will be bustling with life at the time of year including year round residents such Bitterns lurking in the reeds, Egrets fishing on the water’s edge, and Marsh Harriers hunting and gliding through the air and seasonal visitors including pinwheeling Shoveler feeding in the water, Fieldfare and Redwing feasting in the trees and the sound of ‘pee-witting’ Lapwing ringing across the reserve.
Learn about how the site was used before it was a Nature Reserve and hear how the reserve was created including volunteers growing and planting reeds by hand in the early days to how it is managed for the wildlife that lives here now.
Discover the history of the reserve, how it was created and learn more about the wildlife that lives here on this guided walk.
