SZ6186 : Path in Centurion's Copse, Brading Marsh
taken 5 years ago, near to Brading, Isle of Wight, England

Brading Marshes is the RSPB's nature reserve on the Isle of Wight. It stretches from the village of Brading to the sea at Bembridge. At one time it formed a harbour, with a sea wall, but this has silted up around the River Yar to form the marsh.
You can expect to see buzzards, little egrets, green woodpeckers, marsh harriers and hobbies. Recently, in 2021, a white tailed sea eagle has been a regular visitor. Cetti's warblers are also resident, but you are more likely to hear their distinctive call - like many small brown birds they are hard to identify when flying around.
There is a pleasant walk of 2-3 miles from Brading Station, across the marsh and up the hill to Bembridge Windmill.
