Descrizione
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 Alzavola and gaggles of geese. Large flocks of Pavoncella are present in the winter, too, along with Beccaccino. 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 Piro piro culbianco and Pettegola, which are migrating at this time. Some will stay throughout the winter, whilst some of our rarer visitors, like Gambecchio nano and Piro piro boschereccio will turn up (hopefully!) at the end of the summer. Airone cenerino stalk the edges of the reserve all year round, and in the spring, you can spot Migliarino di palude and Cannaiola flitting along the river’s edge.
