Description
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, chriašteľ vodný and with a little bit of luck bučiak veľký can be seen stalking in the extensive reedbeds there. stehlík čečetka, various Tits and stehlík čížik will visit the feeders from the Kingfisher Hide. rybárik riečny 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 močiarnica mekotavá and kalužiak červenonohý. Other waders such as pobrežník čiernozobý, hvizdák veľký and lastúrničiar strakatý can also be seen around the reserve. rybár riečny, brehuľa hnedá, belorítka obyčajná, lastovička obyčajná and dážďovník obyčajný all fly around the reserve in spring and summer, with the brehuľa hnedá nesting in the bank for them. Autumn is quite an interesting month for migration for more waders such as kalužiak sivý, kalužiak perlavý, kalužiačik malý, šabliarka modronohá and kulík riečný can be viewed from around the reserve.
