The Wash National Nature Reserve
The Wash is the biggest bay in England running from just south of Skegness to Hunstanton. This is one of the most outstanding coastal wetlands in Europe with its bleak, yet beautiful landscape of saltmarshes, mudflats and open water.
The intertidal mudflats and saltmarshes are one of Britain’s most important winter feeding areas for waders and wildfowl. Large numbers of migrant birds such as grey plovers, dunlins, oystercatchers and godwits arrive in the autumn to feed on the rich supplies of foods found in the sands and mudflats.
