Description
Roding Valley Meadows is a reserve managed by Essex Wildlife Trust. It comprises of river water meadows that frequently flood in Winter when the River Roding overspills it's banks. During this time of flooding there can be an increase in Gull (Laridae) species. There are two footbridges over the river, so you can gain access to the recreation ground and large lake. There are over 10 miles of ancient hedgerows surrounding numerous meadows. Pipit farlouse, Rougequeue à front blanc, Tarier des prés, Tarier pâtre, Traquet motteux and Gobemouche gris are frequently seen on passage, especially in Autumn. The Recreation Lake most years has Grèbe castagneux, Grèbe huppé, Canard souchet, Canard chipeau, Fuligule morillon, colder weather increases the chance of Canard siffleur and Harle bièvre. The river has Martin-pêcheur d'Europe and Bergeronnette des ruisseaux. Both Rousserolle effarvatte and Bruant des roseaux can usually be found towards the North East of the reserve and later in the year both Chevalier culblanc and Chevalier guignette are regular visitors. Once a year there is a haycut of the meadows, BE AWARE livestock may be present on site, please make sure you close all gates after passing through.
Some more unusual birds that have been seen on the reserve since 2007 are Bernache cravant, Locustelle tachetée, Caille des blés, Nette rousse, Grèbe jougris, Buse pattue, Râle d'eau, Bécasse des bois and Goéland leucophée.
