Over 170 bird species have been seen in this reserve, and 60 are known to have bred. Great place for waders and wildfowl.
Mere Sands Wood is a Lancashire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. Keep your eyes peeled for species like Şakrak, Ağaç serçesi, Orman alaca ağaçkakanı and Atmaca as they fly to and from their nests in the woodland. If you take a seat in one of the lakeside hides you may see Bahri performing their elaborate courtship ritual. Yalıçapkını are present as well as wintering Balaban. The lakes and reedbeds also support Su kılavuzu, Bataklık kirazkuşu, Altıngöz, Elmabaş patka and more.There are multiple hides, and it's easy walking.
Decent car park (open 24 hours. £2 charge applies) and accesible trails (suitable for wheelchairs). Nearest train station Rufford (approx 1.5 miles away).
