Descripción
Swithland Reservoir, adjacent to the Mountsorrel quarry is a hotspot for birdwatchers. With rarities such as Avión Roquero, Chorlitejo Culirrojo and Porrón Bola, Swithland Reservoir is a great place to birdwatch all year round. In winter, you can expect ducks such as Porrón Osculado, Silbón Europeo, Cerceta Común, Porrón Bastardo and other wintering wildfowl. Then in spring, the arrival of Sandpipers and other waders such as Archibebe Claro and Andarríos Grande can be viewed from the Kinchley Lane railings and the dam. Lavandera Cascadeña and Lavandera Boyera can also be seen in low double figures, however the Lavandera Blanca is the most frequent.
Garceta Común, Garceta Grande and occasionally Garcilla Bueyera can be seen from a distance and the very rare, but uncommon at Swithland, Morito Común can also be viewed. The dam and the Kinchley lane railings are the best spot for watching the birds. Summer announces the arrival of terns such as Charrancito Común, Charrán Común and Charrán Patinegro, which dive and dart around the reservoir. More ducks such as Cerceta Carretona can also be seen in summer. Moving on to autumn and the autumn migration, another great season for birdwatching, much rarer waders such as Correlimos Menudo and Correlimos de Temminck, if you're lucky, can be seen and the much rarer Sandpipers such as Correlimos Zarapitín and Correlimos Oscuro.
Correlimos Común, Martín Pescador Común and Avefría Europea can be seen all year round, but autumn and spring the best season for them. Finally back in to winter, on a late evening, you can be rewarded by the obvious figure of a Lechuza Común and a Búho Campestre, and occasionally a Búho Chico can be seen perched in a nearby tree.

Accesso
You can drive around Kinchley Lane in Mountsorrel, which will eventually lead to the dam or you can view from Swithland Lane. Parking is available on Kinchley and Swithland Lane, as the roads are quite wide and the dam on Kinchley Lane is probably the best place to park.
