"The north wind doth blow and we will have
snow, and what will the robin do then, poor thing,"
laments the old nursery rhyme. It is in these
harsh conditions that we reflect on the survival
strategies of many resident and over-wintering
species which frequent the Reserve's diverse habitats.
Winter is far from dull and bleak.
It is the season to enjoy the spectacle of thousands
of wildfowl which visit our shores from northern
breeding grounds. Skeins of pink -footed geese
commute to inland feeding grounds from their over-night
coastal roosts. Flocks of brents forage on the
saltmarsh. Huge slick-like rafts of scoters and
eiders congregate on the sea over off-shore mussel
beds.
As the winter tightens its grip,
diminishing food supplies in mainland Europe may
force some species to move westwards to our shores.
Invasions of redpolls, brambling and waxwings
are possible.
These topics, and many more, are featured in this
captivating account of winter on Titchwell Marsh
Reserve. Duration: 55 minutes.
