Hollesley marshes has been superb this month with top counts of 25 ruff, 25 green sandpiper, 10 wood sandpiper, 9 common sandpiper, 65 ringed plover, 37 greenshank, 20 dunlin, knot, turnstone, golden plover, grey plover, avocet, redshank, little stint, little ringed plover. Duck numbers have slowly started to pick up. The scrape was topped on the 3rd August and has since been grazed with sheep to keep on top of the grass growth. We have maintained the electric fence which had a sudden growth of thistles around it. The new car park is open to all visitors and is clearly signposted from the main track.

Hi Janet. Yes as you drive down the track towards Hollesley marshes with Hollesley bay prison on your right the car park is signposted. It is actually in the prison grounds just through a gate but you will see a sign for RSPB parking.
thanks
