Oare Marshes Nature Reserve is an internationally-important wildlife habitat on The Swale. With grazing marsh, freshwater dykes, open water scrapes, reedbed, saltmarsh, and seawall, the reserve is a fantastic place for birdwatching. Keep a look-out for breeding species, including pied avocet, common redshank, common snipe, northern lapwing, water rail, bearded reedling, common tern, and garganey. You can also see many different species of migrating birds and overwintering birds.
