Blue House Farm, Nature reserve in North Fambridge, Essex, United Kingdom
Blue House Farm spans 242 hectares along the River Crouch, featuring coastal grazing marsh, wetlands, ponds, creeks, and agricultural fields with cereal production.
The land transformed from saltmarsh to grazing pastures after the construction of sea walls, leading to its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The reserve maintains traditional agricultural practices with seasonal grazing of sheep from March to October and cattle from May to October.
Visitors can access three bird observation hides along a 4-kilometer circular path, with parking available for eight vehicles near the entrance.
During winter, the reserve hosts 2000 dark-bellied brent geese migrating from Siberia, alongside golden plovers, dunlins, wigeons, and teals.
