Top things to do in Spring
- With more than 100 birds around, see grey herons building nests from February and youngsters flapping, fishing and flying until May
- Meander along the bridleway next to our ancient woodland for carpets of bluebells, wild garlic and other wildflowers
- Open your ears to all manner of bird maestros from song thrushes to warblers and lapwings to cuckoos
Top things to do in Summer
- Look out for ducklings and young wader chicks
- Ever seen a snake swimming? Watch out for beautiful grass snakes in the canal, or basking in the sun
- With loads of flowers in the grassland and woodland plus butterflies at every turn, it's a riot of colour
Top things to do in Autumn
- Early autumn is the best time to catch a look at darting dragonflies and damselflies and they emerge, mate and fly away in just a few short but exciting weeks
- Blackbirds and thrushes are joined by fieldfares and redwings as they wolf down autumn berries
- Keep your eyes peeled for fungi popping up in the woodland, among a landscape of oranges and reds
Top things to do in Winter
- Ducks and winter wading birds such as lapwings descend in their hundreds and thousands
- Enjoy a winter's day, with frosted woodlands, glistening lakes and our meadow ready for snowman building (snow permitting)
- It's one of the best times to see short-eared owls, barn owls or harriers scanning the winter grasslands for prey
