The marshes around Cley are internationally important for their populations of rare breeding and visiting birds. Cley Marshes bird reserve has been in the care of the [[Norfolk Wildlife Trust]] since 1926, making it the oldest county Wildlife Trust reserve in Britain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/Wildlife-in-Norfolk/Reserves/Cley-Marshes.aspx |title=Cley Marshes |publisher=Norfolk Wildlife Trust |access-date=26 March 2013}}</ref> Among resident breeding birds are [[pied avocet|avocet]], [[bearded tit]], [[Eurasian bittern|bittern]], [[western marsh harrier|marsh harrier]] and [[Eurasian spoonbill|spoonbill]]. Winter visitors include [[brent goose]], [[Eurasian wigeon]], [[northern pintail|pintail]] and many species of [[wading birds]]. Cley, like neighbouring [[Salthouse]], is ideally situated at the apex of the North Norfolk coast as a staging ground for passage migrants, vagrants and rarities of all kinds. A new eco-friendly visitor centre opened in 2007 containing a café, shop, viewing areas (including viewing from a camera on the reserve), exhibition area, interpretation and toilets. The view from the visitor centre across the marsh to the sea is breathtaking. Cley Marshes is the home of the Bird Information Service, publishers of ''[[Birding World]]''. The shingle bank holds large numbers of [[Glaucium flavum|yellow horned poppy]].
