Descripción

Roding Valley Meadows is a reserve managed by Essex Wildlife Trust. It comprises of river water meadows that frequently flood in Winter when the River Roding overspills it's banks. During this time of flooding there can be an increase in Gull (Laridae) species. There are two footbridges over the river, so you can gain access to the recreation ground and large lake. There are over 10 miles of ancient hedgerows surrounding numerous meadows. Bisbita Pratense, Colirrojo Real, Tarabilla Norteña, Tarabilla común​​​​​, Collalba Gris and Papamoscas Gris are frequently seen on passage, especially in Autumn. The Recreation Lake most years has Zampullín Común, Somormujo Lavanco, Cuchara Común, Ánade friso, Porrón Moñudo, colder weather increases the chance of Silbón Europeo and Serreta Grande. The river has Martín Pescador Común and Lavandera Cascadeña. Both Carricero Común and Escribano Palustre can usually be found towards the North East of the reserve and later in the year both Andarríos Grande and Andarríos Chico are regular visitors. Once a year there is a haycut of the meadows, BE AWARE livestock may be present on site, please make sure you close all gates after passing through.

Some more unusual birds that have been seen on the reserve since 2007 are Barnacla Carinegra, Buscarla Pintoja, Codorniz Común, Pato Colorado, Somormujo Cuellirrojo, Busardo Calzado, Rascón Europeo, Chocha Perdiz and Gaviota Patiamarilla.
