Description
Tucked away in Leicestershire, the Reedbed Nature Reserve at Watermead Country Park consists of four hides, one of which looks over the fabulous Wanlip Meadows. In winter, Chřástal vodní and with a little bit of luck bukač velký can be seen stalking in the extensive reedbeds there. čečetka zimní, various Tits and čížek lesní will visit the feeders from the Kingfisher Hide. ledňáček říční can also be viewed from most of the hides.
Spring announces the arrival of waders and the marshier area of the River Soar, viewed from the Plover Hide is great for bekasina otavní and vodouš rudonohý. Other waders such as jespák obecný, koliha velká and ústřičník velký can also be seen around the reserve. rybák obecný, břehule říční, jiřička obecná, vlaštovka obecná and rorýs obecný all fly around the reserve in spring and summer, with the břehule říční nesting in the bank for them. Autumn is quite an interesting month for migration for more waders such as vodouš šedý, vodouš kropenatý, pisík obecný, tenkozobec opačný and kulík říční can be viewed from around the reserve.
