Hurstake Hard
Coastal Marsh, Saltings in Hampshire
England
Hurstake Hard
Hurstake Hard is a coastal marsh located in Hampshire, England. Situated within the New Forest National Park, it is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its unique ecological importance. The site spans approximately 50 hectares and consists of a mixture of saltmarsh and mudflats, known as saltings.
The marsh is primarily fed by tidal waters from the Solent, creating a dynamic and constantly changing habitat. The presence of saltwater leads to the growth of specialized plants such as sea aster, glasswort, and sea lavender, which are well-adapted to the saline conditions. These plants provide important food and shelter for a variety of bird species, including wading birds like redshank, curlew, and dunlin.
Hurstake Hard also serves as a crucial breeding ground for several rare and endangered species. It is home to the natterjack toad, a protected amphibian known for its distinctive yellow stripe down its back. Additionally, the marsh provides nesting sites for avocets, a striking bird with long, upward-curving bills and black-and-white plumage.
Visitors to Hurstake Hard can enjoy scenic views of the marsh and observe the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area. There are well-maintained footpaths and bird hides, allowing for easy exploration and birdwatching opportunities. However, it is important to respect the delicate ecosystem and follow any guidelines or restrictions in place to ensure the continued preservation of this valuable coastal marsh.
