WardenWelcome to Saltmarsh Bird Sanctuary, a haven for birds on a busy coast. Let me describe the five main areas.
WardenFirst, the Estuary, our wild heart. Twice a day, as the tide goes out, waterbirds feed on the mudflats in their thousands.
WardenBehind the office is the Recovery Wing. It's quiet and covered, because rescued owls recover in aviaries there before release.
WardenThe Old Barn looks empty, but look up. Every summer, swallows nest under the barn roof, raising two broods.
WardenFor the best view, climb the Watchtower. From the top, visitors watch from a tall tower across the whole marsh.
WardenAnd in the Egg Room, behind glass, rare eggs are kept warm and safe in incubators until they hatch.
