Strattonhall Drift off Church Lane, Levington · IP10 0LH
Levington Lagoon is a small wetland beside the River Orwell, combining brackish pools with the wider estuary landscape. Suffolk Wildlife Trust lists Greenshank, Redshank and Lapwing among its seasonal birds. The site is free to visit and open at all times, with public footpaths through the reserve. It suits a nearby wetland stop when you can walk the route comfortably and give the birds space. The operator does not assign individual months to these three birds, so the headline list is a starting point for watching rather than a dated sightings report or a promise for every season.
