Descripción
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, Rascón Europeo and with a little bit of luck Avetoro Común can be seen stalking in the extensive reedbeds there. Pardillo Norteño, various Tits and Jilguero Lúgano will visit the feeders from the Kingfisher Hide. Martín Pescador Común 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 Agachadiza común and Archibebe Común. Other waders such as Correlimos Común, Zarapito Real and Ostrero Euroasiático can also be seen around the reserve. Charrán Común, Avión Zapador, Avión Común, Golondrina Común and Vencejo Común all fly around the reserve in spring and summer, with the Avión Zapador nesting in the bank for them. Autumn is quite an interesting month for migration for more waders such as Archibebe Claro, Andarríos Grande, Andarríos Chico, Avoceta Común and Chorlitejo Chico can be viewed from around the reserve.
