The walk begins at the Green Man pub at Frog End Shepreth. You start by walking up a path in a field towards the river Shep, it takes around 20 minutes to get to the reserve, they have a pay and display car park, so you can miss that part of the hike if you want There is a lot of wildlife including barn owls, moorhens, stork, and ducks, I heard a woodpecker, plus there were lots of birds migrating back to the UK... Other wildlife included, deer, rabbits, and trout, I saw lots of badger tracks in the mud. Be aware that cycling and dogs are not allowed in the reserve. There are three hides to look in on with a whole array of birds on show... This is a great afternoon outing and comes highly recommended.
