Wrap up warm and enjoy a winter’s walk through one of the best wildlife sites in the Soar Valley.
About this Event

Our first celebration walk of the year to mark our triple anniversary. 


Open to both members and non-members, join us on this Wonderful Winter Wildfowl Walk at Cossington Meadows. 


This reserve comes alive during the winter months; rafts of ducks floating upon the water, geese and swans flying in low to land, short-eared owls keeping watch upon fenceposts. 


Though the days of January might be short and grey, colour can be found at this wetland reserve. 


Join Chris Hill, Reserve Officer, for a winter’s walk around the site and enjoy the russets of the Wigeon, the iridescence of the Teal and the stark yellows of the Gadwall’s paddling feet.
