WOLVERTON NATURE RESERVE | 4.2 MILES | MODERATE| NORTHANTS
December 18 @ 9:45 am - 1:30 pm GMT
🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
This is a super dog-friendly walk and includes the fabulous Nature Reserve. In winter, a great variety of wildfowl assembles on the two main lakes with species including Teal, Wigeon, Gadwall, Shoveler and Mallard as well as less common species like Goosander and Pintail. In spring and early summer a variety of wading birds visit the site on migration with a few such as Lapwings and Redshank staying to nest. Other notable birds include the Cuckoo and several species of Owl.
A team of Volunteer Rangers patrol the park seven days a week and are on hand to answer any questions you may have. As the site is very sensitive and home to many nesting birds and other secretive wildlife, please ensure that dogs are kept on a lead whilst walking through the nature reserve. For most of the year, wild Konik ponies and cattle graze the lake margins and islands and should be watched from a safe distance.
❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Have you booked your summer holiday?
Please arrive by 9.45 am we will set off at 10 am sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the walk leader who will be wearing a red “walk leader” pin badge.
