Filsham Reedbed
Sussex Wildlife Trust are presently carrying out their annual survey and are looking for as large a response from people who live in Sussex to discover what matters most to them about wildlife in Sussex. Their survey can be found at this link, and both they and I should be very grateful if you would complete the survey, if appropriate, many thanks!
I belong to Sussex Wildlife Trust which manages a number of wetlands close by, including Pevensey Marshes, Castle Water, Rye Harbour and, closest to Hastings, Filsham Reedbed (above), located between Hastings and Bexhill, to the east of Combe Haven river (Grid Ref: TQ775097), and one of the largest reedbeds in Sussex. It is a stopping off point for many birds, including swallows, warblers, bitterns and marsh harriers, plus reed warblers, bearded tits and water rail breed there. There are many rare plants growing there too, and amphibians and insects live within the reeds and open water. It is well worth a visit, I regularly walk there (eg blog).
If you want to join Sussex Wildlife Trust, or to know more about its work and nature reserves, go to their website. Enjoy the day!
