Beskrivning
St Aidan's Nature Park has a variety of habitats including reedbed, wetland, meadows and woodland. St Aidan’s was an opencast mine for many years and it has now been restored to a birdrich nature park. Four trails lead you through woodland glades, alongside reedbeds, around lakes and ponds, and onto a hill with panoramic views. Nice birds you can see here include rördrom, svarthalsad dopping, skärfläcka, svarttärna, sånglärka and ängspiplärka.

NejExtra information
In the autumn thousands of wading birds pass through the Aire Valley on their migration, such as green sandpipers and black-tailed godwits. Large numbers of starlings start to gather and as the autumn progresses, the murmurations build. Watch huge flocks of starlings dance and swoop down into the reedbeds just to the side of the path to go to sleep safely for the night.
