Brandon Marsh is an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and nature reserve in Warwickshire, situated close to the city of Coventry. It is also the headquarters of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
The Visitor Centre, opened by Sir David Attenborough in 1998, contains displays, hands-on activities and information about the nature reserve, as well as a Tea Room and Shop.
"The nature reserve itself is a large expanse of wetland and pools. There are a number of bird hides in place to observe the wildlife. Large numbers of bird species are resident or passage migrants here, including many ducks, geese and waders. It was the first recorded breeding site in the region for Cetti's Warbler. Other notable species seen here include Bittern and Bearded Tit. As well as birds, the reserve also harbours otters and many species of Dragonfly and other insects." - wikipedia
