Descripción
Wanlip meadows is part of the floodplain for the River Soar, adjacent to Watermead Country Park. Just a few miles from the city centre, this is a wild haven teeming with birdlife, as well as reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. In the winter months, pop on a warm jacket, fill up a flask of something hot, wrap up warm and admire big flocks of wildfowl, including the tiny Cerceta Común and gaggles of geese. Large flocks of Avefría Europea are present in the winter, too, along with Agachadiza común. These species are making the most of the floodwaters that flow from the Soar, which recedes in the spring.
If a winter wander isn’t your thing, July and August are excellent for passage waders, like Andarríos Grande and Archibebe Común, which are migrating at this time. Some will stay throughout the winter, whilst some of our rarer visitors, like Correlimos de Temminck and Andarríos Bastardo will turn up (hopefully!) at the end of the summer. Garza Real stalk the edges of the reserve all year round, and in the spring, you can spot Escribano Palustre and Carricero Común flitting along the river’s edge.
