About the reserve

This coastal grazing marsh sits on the edge of Langstone Harbour, and is extremely valuable for birds. Skylarks use the marsh as a breeding site, and many waders and wildfowl roost here at high tide too. The scrub areas are home to many species of small birds, including linnets, greenfinches and goldfinches. The wet grassland is home to a diverse range of wildlife, and southern marsh orchids grow here in abundance.

Special Features:

• The sea wall has been breached here, which is creating changes to the habitat due to sea water encroachment.
