点评:Visited the reserve today (Monday 13th July) while on holiday in Kendal as we are RSPB members.
Used the sat nav and it was very easy to find although some of the roads are typical narrow country roads.
Warmly greeted by a lady who asked if we had been before and we replied No....not from this area and she laughed and said I can tell that from your accents (we are Norfolk dumplings 🤣). She gave us a map and explained where to spot things on both routes and to start at the Sky Tower to get a good overall view of the reed beds and reserve.
We thoroughly enjoyed climbing to the top of the sky tower and the 4 hides.
We saw Marsh Harriers, Great Egrets, Herons, Swans with cignets, Cootes, various ducks, a grey squirrel, loads of massive dragonflies and butterflies. We also heard a few Reed Warblers too.
The reserve is very much like Minsmere back where we live and we spent an enjoyable 4 hours there altogether.

我们用了卫星导航,很容易就找到了,虽然有些路段是典型的乡村小路。
一位女士热情地接待了我们,问我们之前是否来过,我们回答说没有……我们不是本地人。她笑着说,从你们的口音就能听出来(我们是诺福克本地人🤣)。她给了我们一张地图,并解释了两条路线上哪些地方可以看到鸟类,还建议我们从天空塔出发,这样可以更好地俯瞰芦苇丛和整个保护区。
我们非常享受爬上天空塔顶和四个观鸟屋的过程。
我们看到了沼泽鹞、大白鹭、苍鹭、天鹅(带小天鹅)、白骨顶、各种鸭子、一只灰松鼠,还有许多巨大的蜻蜓和蝴蝶。我们也听到了几声芦苇莺的叫声。
这个保护区和我们居住的明斯米尔非常相似,我们在那里愉快地度过了4个小时。
