Descrição

The Hanningfield reservoir Nature Discovery Centre is an ideal place to view the wildlife within the nature reserve and to receive the latest sightings news. The centre has full disabled access as does the Lyster Bird hide that is a short distance away. The nature reserve offers some beautiful walks through the woodland, taking in bird hides, ponds and views across the reservoir. The site is run in partnership with Essex & Suffolk Water and you can walk through the reserve to the Essex & Suffolk Water Fishing Lodge and the Cafe on the Water. The reservoir itself is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the important numbers of wildfowl that use the reservoir in the autumn and winter, including Frisada, Zarro-negrinha and Zarro-comum.

The spectacle of thousands of Andorinhão-preto, Andorinho-dos-beirais, Andorinha-das-chaminés and Andorinha-das-barreiras feeding over the water during peak fly hatches is one of the delights for the summer visitor. 30 acres of the woodland are ancient in origin and spring flowers include carpets of Bluebells and Stitchwort. A trail guide is available from the Nature Discovery Centre to guide you around the reserve.
