in East England provides a perfect wetland for over-wintering birds. Wild
swans arrive every autumn from their breeding grounds in Iceland and the Arctic
tundra. The reserve was originally established for Bewick's Swans, the
smallest and rarest of the three species of wild swan in the UK.
| |  | Old Moor lies on the site of an old colliery
which has been reclaimed as a fantastic bird watching reserve. | |  | - Peatlands
Park is a rich bog habitat that is a wildlife gold mine for plants, insects, birds
and mammals.
| "Wetlands
are a haven for birds, mammals and insects especially in the autumn. Ìý "These
days we've got some fantastic restored wetlands - places where human effort has
brought the wildlife alive. And they're especially good spots for watching wintering
birds." |
