Descripción

The clays of Feckenham Wylde Moor support a surface layer of fen peat, an uncommon Worcestershire habitat that gives the pools their dark velvety hue. The land here was drained in 1850 for agriculture but the drainage system became blocked in more recent times and the restoration of the wetland has begun. The Trust has excavated a large pool along with several smaller scrapes for dragonflies and other wildlife.

As well as a circular trail that covers most of the reserve, visitors can enjoy the views from two hides. Zampullín Común, Martín Pescador Común, Agachadiza común, Alcotán Europeo, Carricero Común, Pardillo Común, Jilguero Europeo, Curruca Capirotada, Lechuza Común, frogs, toads and an amazing array of dragonflies and damselflies are regularly seen here. 17 species of the latter have been recorded here including large red-eye damselflies, hawkers, chasers and emperor dragonflies.
