Description

RSPB Minsmere is one of the RSPB's most famous nature reserves. It has been an RSPB reserve for over 50 years and pioneered the use of observation hides and management of wetland areas to enable visitors to see a sample of the huge range of birds that pass along the Suffolk coast.

If you'd like to see avocets, marsh harriers and bitterns, RSPB Minsmere is the place to visit in spring and summer. In winter, the shallow lagoons attract many wading birds and waterfowl including black-tailed godwits, wigeons, teals and Bewick's swans. The spring and autumn migration seasons are exciting times to visit the reserve.

However, RSPB Minsmere is more than just a birdwatchers' site. There is a wide network of paths and trails, enabling you to experience heath, woodland, and the beach and dunes. See website for a list of some of the many activites and courses taking place at Minsmere this summer.

At the visitor centre, informative staff and volunteers can help you plan your visit. You can also enjoy a meal in the tearoom and browse around the shop. Special 'Explorer backpacks' for children and families are available for free loan during your visit.
