Abbey Farm, Bird Hide

What a lovely hide this is. I came with my partner last Saturday, and we were not disappointed. Marsh Harriers, buzzards, Red Kite, Heron, Robin, Cootes, Ducks, Oyster Catcher, even a Little Owl…but I was so excited, as we spotted a Kingfisher! What a beauty it was, and first time seeing one. Also had a few Muntjacs walk past the hide. Was only there a couple of hours too. We were very lucky to see all of this in such a short while, and in the background was a field of gorgeous poppies. We will most definitely be returning.😊

Saw a family of Marsh Harriers and lots of other wildlife, lovely hide spot :)

Nice little hide with seating and good views, ideal for bird spotting, photography given its in the middle of bird Conservation Area

Great for the Marsh Harrier and Little Owl

Small, but a great place to just sit and watch. Hares put on a great show as did a Barn Owl.

Have been to the Abbey Farm open day today. An absolute pleasure, and perfect, sunny weather.

The chalk meadows are full of wildflowers, my passion and delight, from wild parsnip to small scabious, delicate fairy flax to hoary plantain. Not forgetting the delicately scented Lady's bedstraw and flowering grasses, especially my favourite quaking grass.

Sky larks provided a soundtrack, along with many other bird songs, and for those with good hearing, the sounds of grasshoppers and crickets.

Thankyou, the Cross family for allowing me to wander the pathways of your very special farm.

Great little hide. Have been on several occasions. Interesting birds turn up all the time. On this visit 4 different raptors.

Found this lovely hide in passing.
As I was walking down the path into the screened part of the path I was greeted by a little owl flying straight at me.
Lovely peaceful hide.

Fantastic bird hide in a remote and peaceful location. Lots of wildlife on view and lovely scenery
