Dee Estuary - Burton Mere Wetlands

RSPB

Burton Mere Wetlands, part of the Dee Estuary reserve, offers a diverse landscape of freshwater wetlands, grasslands, and ancient woodlands straddling the England-Wales border. This area is designated for its rich biodiversity, featuring habitats that support a variety of wildlife, including wading birds and wildfowl. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty while exploring the lagoons and woodlands, with facilities available at the café. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect to see a range of species throughout the year, with peak sightings of Ruff and Ruddy Shelduck in March and April, respectively. Notable species such as Great White Egret and Black-tailed Godwit are best observed in February, while the spring months bring a vibrant display of warblers in the reedbeds. For optimal viewing, early morning and late afternoon are recommended, particularly around 12:00 and 18:00 for specific species.
