Descrição
Tucklesholme Nature Reserve is a relatively new reserve. The former gravel pit was acquired by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and first opened in 2019. The area has already proved productive for birds with both Pilrito-peitoral and Pilrito de Temminck being found shortly after it's opening. BE AWARE with the River Trent running alongside the reserve the site is prone to flooding following periods of prolonged rain.
(*1) (press STAR on map). From the car park take the footpath on the Left the open areas, trees and hedges here have Tordo-ruivo-comum and Tordo-zornal in Winter. Pica-pau-malhado-grande are also regular here, with Felosa-comum and the occasional Felosa-musical especially in Spring.
Continue along this path to a viewing screen (*2) overlooking the largest lake, depending on season Marrequinha-comum are regular here with Pato-real, Piadeira, Frisada, Pato-trombeteiro and Galinha-d'água, sometimes in smaller numbers. Passage birds, sometimes staying for longer periods, include Maçarico-das-rochas, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira, Pilrito-comum and Maçarico-de-bico-direito are regular especially in Autumn when water levels drop. More common are Ostraceiro, Perna-vermelha-comum and Abibe-comum.
Continue on the footpath that runs near the railway line (*3), the smaller lakes here have Felosa-dos-juncos and rouxinol-dos-caniços. Galinha-d'água and Mergulhão-pequeno are regularly seen and Rouxinol-bravo (more often heard than seen of course) can also be found here.

***IMPORTANT PLEASE DO NOT STRAY FROM MARKED PATHWAYS***. Birds have been seriously disturbed by people NOT STAYING ON marked footpaths.
Late Summer 2024, some paths may be closed/diverted whilst work to improve the Northern Lake is under way, it is hoped the improvements will attract Abetouro-comum in the future, this work is due to be completed in six weeks, weather permitting.
