Opis

Tucklesholme Nature Reserve is a relatively new reserve. The former gravel pit was acquired by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and first opened in 2019. The area has already proved productive for birds with both biegus arktyczny and biegus mały being found shortly after it's opening. BE AWARE with the River Trent running alongside the reserve the site is prone to flooding following periods of prolonged rain.

(*1) (press STAR on map). From the car park take the footpath on the Left the open areas, trees and hedges here have droździk and kwiczoł in Winter. dzięcioł duży are also regular here, with pierwiosnek and the occasional piecuszek especially in Spring.

Continue along this path to a viewing screen (*2) overlooking the largest lake, depending on season cyraneczka are regular here with krzyżówka, świstun, krakwa, Płaskonos and kokoszka (zwyczajna), sometimes in smaller numbers. Passage birds, sometimes staying for longer periods, include brodziec piskliwy, sieweczka obrożna, sieweczka rzeczna, biegus zmienny and rycyk are regular especially in Autumn when water levels drop. More common are ostrygojad, krwawodziób and czajka.

Continue on the footpath that runs near the railway line (*3), the smaller lakes here have rokitniczka and trzcinniczek (zwyczajny). kokoszka (zwyczajna) and perkozek are regularly seen and wierzbówka zwyczajna (more often heard than seen of course) can also be found here.

On the way back to the car park (*6) check the large lake one last time, nurogęś and gągoł can sometimes be seen. Along with the resident perkoz dwuczuby, perkozek, czernica and łyska . samotnik, kszyk, bekasik are regularly seen mostly later in the year.
