Descrição
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 Marrequinha-comum and gaggles of geese. Large flocks of Abibe-comum are present in the winter, too, along with Narceja-comum. 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 Pássaro-bique-bique and Perna-vermelha-comum, which are migrating at this time. Some will stay throughout the winter, whilst some of our rarer visitors, like Pilrito de Temminck and Maçarico-bastardo will turn up (hopefully!) at the end of the summer. Garça-real stalk the edges of the reserve all year round, and in the spring, you can spot Escrevedeira-dos-caniços and rouxinol-dos-caniços flitting along the river’s edge.
