Dettagli
Accesso
Site A27 is located on the western outskirts of Ashby de la Zouch. Best to visit on foot and wearing wellies or boots in wetter months. The Public Right of Way next to the field is accessed via a compacted hoggin path from Bishop Hall Road in Ashby de la Zouch. Follow the path, past the play park and estate basin pond, the path goes through the hedge where it becomes earth (can be muddy in wet weather). It travels on a slight incline slope along one side of the field.
You can twitch from this path, or continue onward towards Blackfordby (aim for the spire), or walk around the woodlands to see many other birds. Enjoy!
Side note: the hedgerow can be viewed from Rushey Close, however access to the field and beyond is only gained via the Public Right of Way.
Wheelchair users may find the ground on the field and woodland challenging. However, some of the birds can be viewed from fully accessible paved areas with phone/camera/telescopic aides.

APPEAL please read - We are quickly trying to document as many bird species as we can on and around this farmland site, especially red listed birds, due to a planning application which threatens the last piece of green buffer farmland before the National Forest.
If you are in the area and can help with your bird spot photos. Please send them in to Naturespot, iRecord or LRERC for them to be considered and taken into account with the planning decision.
Thank you so much for your time and enjoy your twitching!
