Beschreibung
Aylestone Meadows forms the southern end of the Leicester riverside that stretches through the heart of the city to Watermead Country Park in the north. In the past, a large area of the flood meadows was used as a landfill site and today the landscaped mound is used as a sports pitch. The mixture of aquatic habitats, grazed meadows, ponds and rough grassland provides a rich and diverse habitat for much wildlife. Some parts of the park are designated as Local Nature Reserve and support wetland and grassland species particularly in the flood meadows where longhorn cattle graze. Among the birds you can encounter are Krickente, Zwergtaucher, Rothuhn, Wasserralle, Austernfischer, Bekassine, Seidenreiher, Eisvogel, Kolkrabe, Schilfrohrsänger, Rohrammer, Klappergrasmücke, Gebirgsstelze, Gimpel and in winter Gänsesäger.
