These Arctic travellers are a rare and special sight, weaving through our saltmarshes and coastal fields during their migration.
Listen for their twittering flight calls on crisp autumn mornings.

New UKCEH research shows UK saltmarshes are significant carbon sinks, storing ~6.5 t CO₂e ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹, comparable to mangroves and seagrasses.
Saltmarshes aren't yet included in the UK GHG Inventory, but the evidence base is strengthening.

Protecting and restoring saltmarshes should be a national priority I reckon – for flood protection, for nature and Net Zero is the icing on the cake.

The short-eared owl, or 'Shortie', is an unusual owl because it prefers to be out and about in the daytime. It is most easily spotted in winter, when resident birds are joined by migrants. Look out for it over moorlands and saltmarshes.
