Descripción

Charnwood Lodge is one of the last truly wild areas in Charnwood Forest. Birds, bats, wildflowers, woodland butterflies, native trees, mosses and lichen all benefit from traditional, minimal management. It’s worth returning at different times of year so that you can experience that changing seasons fully and enjoy the species that the nature reserve attracts. As well as the forest, the area enjoys a reservoir, streams, ponds and fields. This is the perfect reserve for both ardent naturalists and those just wanting to get away from the city for a relaxing walk.

Busardo ratonero, Cernícalo vulgar and Gavilán Común are now quite common, and there have been several sightings in recent years of Alcotán Europeo and Halcón Peregrino. In the spring and summer, listen out for Bisbita Arbóreo and Bisbita Pratense and migrant warblers as well as Escribano Palustre. All three species of woodpecker occur, although the Pico Menor is rare. Common in the woodland area are Trepador Azul, Reyezuelo Sencillo, Carbonero Garrapinos and Arrendajo Euroasiático

In autumn and winter Tarabilla común can often be found in the meadow area also with flocks of Zorzal Real and Zorzal Alirrojo.
