Descrição
Swithland Reservoir, adjacent to the Mountsorrel quarry is a hotspot for birdwatchers. With rarities such as Androinha-das-rochas, Borrelho-de-dupla-coleira and Negrelho-americano, Swithland Reservoir is a great place to birdwatch all year round. In winter, you can expect ducks such as Pato-olho-d'ouro, Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum, Zarro-bastardo and other wintering wildfowl. Then in spring, the arrival of Sandpipers and other waders such as Perna-verde-comum and Pássaro-bique-bique can be viewed from the Kinchley Lane railings and the dam. Alvéola-cinzenta and alvéola-amarela can also be seen in low double figures, however the alvéola-branca is the most frequent.
Garça-branca-pequena, Garça-branca-grande and occasionally Garca-vaqueira can be seen from a distance and the very rare, but uncommon at Swithland, Íbis-preta 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 Andorinha-do-mar-anã, Andorinha-do-mar-comum and Garajau-comum, which dive and dart around the reservoir. More ducks such as Marreco can also be seen in summer. Moving on to autumn and the autumn migration, another great season for birdwatching, much rarer waders such as Pilrito-pequeno and Pilrito de Temminck, if you're lucky, can be seen and the much rarer Sandpipers such as Pilrito-de-bico-comprido and Pilrito-escuro.
Pilrito-comum, Guarda-rios-comum and Abibe-comum 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 coruja-da-igreja / coruja-das-torres and a Coruja-do-nabal, and occasionally a Bufo-pequeno can be seen perched in a nearby tree.

Acesso
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.
