for waterbirds in southern England. Thousands of wintering wildfowl, gulls
and other species are complemented by some interesting breeding
species, a diverse range of passage migrants, and occasional surprise
visitors.

Rarity highlights over the years have included Long-billed Dowitcher, Collared Pratincole, Franklin's, Thayer's and Bonaparte's Gulls, Whiskered and White-winged Black Terns, Lesser Scaup, Ferruginous Duck, Long-tailed Skua, Black Kite, Red-footed Falcon and 'Greenland' Redpoll.
