Descrizione
Swithland Reservoir, adjacent to the Mountsorrel quarry is a hotspot for birdwatchers. With rarities such as Rondine montana, Corriere vocifero and Moretta grigia minore, Swithland Reservoir is a great place to birdwatch all year round. In winter, you can expect ducks such as Quattrocchi, Fischione, Alzavola, Moretta grigia and other wintering wildfowl. Then in spring, the arrival of Sandpipers and other waders such as Pantana and Piro piro culbianco can be viewed from the Kinchley Lane railings and the dam. Ballerina gialla and Cutrettola can also be seen in low double figures, however the Ballerina bianca is the most frequent.
Garzetta, Airone bianco maggiore and occasionally Airone guardabuoi can be seen from a distance and the very rare, but uncommon at Swithland, Mignattaio can also be viewed. The dam and the Kinchley lane railings are the best spot for watching the birds. Summer announces the arrival of terns such as Fraticello, Sterna comune and Beccapesci, which dive and dart around the reservoir. More ducks such as Marzaiola can also be seen in summer. Moving on to autumn and the autumn migration, another great season for birdwatching, much rarer waders such as Gambecchio comune and Gambecchio nano, if you're lucky, can be seen and the much rarer Sandpipers such as Piovanello comune and Piovanello violetto.
Piovanello pancianera, Martin pescatore and Pavoncella can be seen all year round, but autumn and spring the best season for them. Finally back in to winter, on a late evening, you can be rewarded by the obvious figure of a Barbagianni and a Gufo di palude, and occasionally a Gufo comune can be seen perched in a nearby tree.

Accesso
You can drive around Kinchley Lane in Mountsorrel, which will eventually lead to the dam or you can view from Swithland Lane. Parking is available on Kinchley and Swithland Lane, as the roads are quite wide and the dam on Kinchley Lane is probably the best place to park.
