Short birdwatching visit · Forestry England
Shouldham Warren
Shouldham · PE33 0DQ
Shouldham Warren offers woodland birdwatching near the fen edge, with conifers, open clearings and wetter drains beside the trees. The county birding guide lists Woodlark, Tree Pipit and Nightjar in spring and summer, with Siskin among the birds of the rest of the year. Forestry England provides public woodland walks at Shouldham Woods, with an undulating landscape and views towards the surrounding countryside. Our suggestion is to follow the established walking trails, listening at woodland edges and leaving open wildlife habitat undisturbed.
