Beschrijving
Tucked away in Leicestershire, the Reedbed Nature Reserve at Watermead Country Park consists of four hides, one of which looks over the fabulous Wanlip Meadows. In winter, Waterral and with a little bit of luck Roerdomp can be seen stalking in the extensive reedbeds there. Barmsijs, various Tits and Sijs will visit the feeders from the Kingfisher Hide. IJsvogel can also be viewed from most of the hides.
Spring announces the arrival of waders and the marshier area of the River Soar, viewed from the Plover Hide is great for Watersnip and Tureluur. Other waders such as Bonte Strandloper, Wulp and Scholekster can also be seen around the reserve. Visdief, Oeverzwaluw, Huiszwaluw, Boerenzwaluw and Gierzwaluw all fly around the reserve in spring and summer, with the Oeverzwaluw nesting in the bank for them. Autumn is quite an interesting month for migration for more waders such as Groenpootruiter, Witgat, Oeverloper, Kluut and Kleine Plevier can be viewed from around the reserve.
