About Burton Mere Wetlands
Wildfowl and wading birds in winter, warblers in spring, vast panoramas and a fascinating history are just some of the highlights from Burton Mere Wetlands. Straddling the border between England and Wales, this is a unique landscape. Many years of hard work have restored reedbeds, fenland and farmland.

Opening times
Our reception building is open between 9.30 am and 5 pm. The reserve is open between 9 am and 9 pm, or dusk if sooner.

Entrance charges
£4 adults, £6 family, £1 kids, concessions £2.

If you are new to birdwatching...
Burton Mere Wetlands is perfect if you're new to birdwatching, as the entire reserve has been designed to get you closer to nature. It has relaxed, modern facilities with excellent access for people of all abilities.

Information for dog owners
No dogs allowed, except registered assistance dogs

Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve

Black-tailed godwit
Flocks of black-tailed godwits can be seen on the pools here. In spring - when they rest and feed here before heading north to Iceland to breed - they are resplendent in their 'tomato soup-red' breeding attire. On their return in autumn, you can pick out the scaly-backed juvenile birds if you look closely.

Buzzard
The buzzard is now the UK's most numerous bird of prey. Listen for their mewing calls, or keep an eye out for them as they soar overheard on sunny days.

Kingfisher
Spend time in the hides and you may be rewarded with an unforgettable kingfisher encounter. Listen for their shrill, piping calls and then watch for the flash of blue and orange.

Linnet
Linnets are fairly unobtrusive finches for most of the year. In spring, watch out for the smart males with their twittering song and bright pink bellies.

Little egret
These dainty little white herons can be seen throughout the year here. You can see them fishing, stirring up fish fry from the muddy bottom with their feet, or watch large numbers arrive to roost at dusk.

Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.

Spring
Spring is alive with the sounds and sights of many breeding birds. Our favourites include the sky-diving lapwings and herons with their precarious nests in the trees. The highlight amongst the many warblers is undoubtely the grasshopper warbler with its distinctive 'reeling' song. Non-breeding regular visitors include black-tailed godwits and spotted redshanks, which pass through on their way north.

Summer
As the weather hots up, so does the wildlife action. Summer visitors include the aerobatic hobby and menacing marsh harrier. Ducklings are well on their way and are actively feeding. Many wildflowers come into their own, such as marsh orchids and fleabane, while marsh marigolds bloom. A quiet and patient watcher may catch a glimpse of a water vole as it plops underwater. Insect stars include wall brown butterflies. Stick around until dusk and see the Daubenton's and pipistrelle bats feasting on flying insects.

Autumn
Autumn sees the action slow down as nature gets ready for winter. The reserve, however, remains well-watched as many scarce migrant birds have been seen in previous years, including little stints, green, curlew and wood sandpipers. Little egret numbers are at their highest now as the chicks have fledged and large roosts make it worthwhile being here just before dusk. Also, small numbers of wild geese begin to arrive.

Winter
The whole area becomes a winter wildlife wonderland. Believe it or not, many of our feathered friends choose to spend their winter here. Probably the most spectacular (and noisy) are the thrushes and starlings that have come from the continent to feast upon our unfrozen farmland. Hen harriers spend their winter out on the saltmarsh but will regularly hunt the pools and wetland here. Both whooper and Bewick's swans over-winter on the estuary and occasionally drop in for a feed or even to spend the night. Frozen days are the best time to see the usually shy water rail, as it is forced to leave the cover of vegetation to find somewhere to feed.

Reed and Fen Trail: leading to Marsh Covert Hide and fully accessible, this trail is sandwiched between our new reedbed and a wet woodland – in spring it is a wall of warbler song.
