St Ouen's Pond (La Mare au Seigneur)
St Ouen 1 hour Verified 2026-06
Largest freshwater body in the Channel Islands and Jersey's top birding site.
The story
Set just behind the dunes of St Ouen's Bay, La Mare au Seigneur is a reed-fringed freshwater pond managed by the National Trust for Jersey. Hides overlook the water and surrounding marshland — home to bitterns, marsh harriers, reed warblers and migratory waders.
What to expect
The island's best birdwatching, minutes from the surf beach.
Good to know
Two public hides. Quiet voices please. Best at dawn or dusk.
