Food or Friend?

Kramer Hide at the northeast of the Finger Lakes makes a great place for wildlife watching. The reed beds play home to year-round residents such as Reed Bunting and Great Crested Grebes, and seasonal visitors including Reed Warblers, Sedge Warblers, Sand Martins and Dunlins. You might see Little Egrets, Heron, Kingfishers, Ringed Plovers. Coots and Moorhens nest on the banks. Look out for otter tracks too.

This wildlife haven only exists due to gravel extraction, which dug out long, narrow channels of gravel to create the Finger Lakes’ special shape.

These days, we wait and watch for the wild birds. At the height of the medieval Manor and Priory, waterfowl were enjoyed as a quickly replenishing food source.
