About Snettisham Nature Reserve
Snettisham Nature Reserve is a vast coastal habitat which consists of lagoons, tidal mudflats, shingle beach and saltmarsh and is home to an array of incredible wildlife, including wading birds and wildfowl.
One of the reserve's most impressive spectacles is the sight of hundreds of thousands of waders gathering in the mudflats to roost overnight. At the incoming tide the birds all take to flight en masse which makes for a truly impressive sight.
