A wildlife trust reserve is a wetland best known for its Osprey , Great Bittern and Common Cuckoo populations.
The habitats of Fishlake Meadows established themselves after farming of the land ceased over the last two decades. Unusually, the reserve now boasts a mix of floodplain habitats rarely seen in chalk river valleys. The wetlands are home to good numbers of wildfowl and the reedbeds are great for warblers, such as Grasshopper Warbler , Cetti's Warbler and Sedge Warbler . Recent rarities at the site have included Glossy Ibis , whilst Great Egret and Garganey are fairly regular.
The reserve is accessed off Fishlake Meadows road, via the Oxlease Meadows housing estate. There is also roadside parking closer to the reserve. The area is not wheelchair-friendly.
There are two observation screens within the actual reserve, but these are not proper hides and do not provide shelter from the rain.
