Site Details
Unique shingle range, combined with former gravel/quarry diggings (that have been reclaimed by nature) to regenerate superb habitat. Home in the summer to breeding terns and gulls, visited in winter by ducks including Smew. The reserve is positioned by the English Channel, close to the Continent, and sees many passage migrants from waders to warblers, raptors and passerines.
