Cliffe Pools nature reserve offers a spectacular landscape of open water and big skies. The reserve is one of the most important places for wildlife in the UK with huge flocks of wading birds and waterfowl. A number of nature trails cross the reserve, affording great views of the pools, wildlife and the River Thames which runs alongside.
During spring and autumn migration periods, there is an excellent chance to see some unusual species, such as sandpipers and stints. Big flocks of ducks and grebes also gather at this time, and hen harriers and other birds of prey are regular visitors.
In summer, breeding redshanks, avocets and common terns may be seen, with nightingales and turtle doves singing from the bushes.
At weekends RSPB staff and volunteers can usually be found at the car park and around the main viewing areas. They will be happily tell you more about the reserve and point you towards of one of the many trails around the pools or out to the River Thames.
