Beskrivning

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.

ormvråk, tornfalk and sparvhök are now quite common, and there have been several sightings in recent years of lärkfalk and Pilgrimsfalk. In the spring and summer, listen out for trädpiplärka and ängspiplärka and migrant warblers as well as Sävsparv. All three species of woodpecker occur, although the mindre hackspett is rare. Common in the woodland area are Nötväcka, kungsfågel, svartmes and nötskrika

In autumn and winter svarthakad buskskvätta can often be found in the meadow area also with flocks of björktrast and rödvingetrast.
