Minsmere offers families and keen birdwatchers a great day out. Nature
trails take you through a variety of habitats to excellent birdwatching
hides. In spring, you can watch avocets and marsh harriers, or hear
booming bitterns. On the beach, a special area is cordoned off to
protect nesting little terns. In autumn and winter, many wading birds
and swans, ducks and geese visit the reserve. There is a visitor centre
