Beskrivning
Swithland Reservoir, adjacent to the Mountsorrel quarry is a hotspot for birdwatchers. With rarities such as klippsvala, skrikstrandpipare and mindre bergand, Swithland Reservoir is a great place to birdwatch all year round. In winter, you can expect ducks such as knipa, bläsand, Kricka, bergand and other wintering wildfowl. Then in spring, the arrival of Sandpipers and other waders such as gluttsnäppa and skogssnäppa can be viewed from the Kinchley Lane railings and the dam. forsärla and gulärla can also be seen in low double figures, however the sädesärla is the most frequent.
Silkeshäger, ägretthäger and occasionally Kohäger can be seen from a distance and the very rare, but uncommon at Swithland, bronsibis 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 småtärna, fisktärna and Kentsk tärna, which dive and dart around the reservoir. More ducks such as årta can also be seen in summer. Moving on to autumn and the autumn migration, another great season for birdwatching, much rarer waders such as småsnäppa and mosnäppa, if you're lucky, can be seen and the much rarer Sandpipers such as spovsnäppa and skärsnäppa.
kärrsnäppa, kungsfiskare and tofsvipa 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 Tornuggla and a jorduggla, and occasionally a hornuggla can be seen perched in a nearby tree.

Tillgänglighet
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.
