Trimley Reserve - Then and Now

The first photo, taken in 1995, shows the new section of perimeter dyke and a new access on to the reserve.  Note that no shrubs or reed are to be seen.

The second photo taken today shows the worn access onto the reserve, a dyke that has completly been colonised by reed and edged by fantastic wildlife rich habitat of scrub and herbage.

This part of the reserve has gone from no flora and fauna at all to a rich corridor for wildlife where feeding, loafing, roosting and migration occurs.  It also supports at least 22 breeding species of bird inluding Reed and Sedge Warblers, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Nightingale, Linnet and Bullfinch.
