Arundel’s Wetlands is a haven for birdwatchers, offering a rich diversity of bird species amidst a serene, natural landscape. The wetlands, with their intricate network of ponds, reed beds, and marshes, provide an ideal habitat for both migratory and resident birds. Wetlands, forests, marshes, and coastal regions are excellent places for bird photography.
