    Leicestershire and Rutland Birding/Local Patches

    Has anybody got any experience with Bagworth Heath Woods? I ask because in recent days there have been numerous reportings of Raven on BirdTrack. It's not a spot I've ever visited (or even heard of until now). I understand it's relatively new woodland but there are a number of lakes and pools...

    Well, no Crossbills unfortunately or Raven but I did get a good view of Peregrine Falcon so was worth the trip! Quite a few Purple Haristreaks and plenty of other butterfly's for those interested. Thanks, Gav

    Cheers for this Steve, I'll probably have a drive up and give it a go - I'm mainly going with the hope of seeing a passing Raven as I've had a few reports from a lady that lives on the edge of the reserve who says she's seen a pair hanging around for quite a while so I'm going to go and check it...

    I'm looking to have a mooch around the Charnwood Lodge reserve tomorrow because I've never been and it sounds alright. Anybody go here regularly? Is it worth the trip without permit access because from the LRWT website it sounds like a fair chunk of it is permit access only?

    Leicestershire and Rutland Birding/Local Patches

    Hello there! It's a good lit spot not visible from the road. It's on Countesthorpe Road halfway between South Wigston and Countesthorpe on the left hands side if heading from the former to the latter. Before 'Meadows sportsground there is a layby on the left hand side and directly opposite is...

    Just been for a mooch around Countesthorpe sewage works. Wasn't expecting much but it was teaming with life, all be it not very rare. Plenty of butterflies (mainly commas and speckled woods) and a hare. On the birding from around 7-8 Green woodpeckers all in plain view and yelping away, plenty...

    Ravens

    Hi everyone, I'm new here so please be gentle! A little about me - I'm 25, from Wigston, been a wildlife enthusiast since early childhood, have been a birder since my teens (my dad was a keen birder). I go out walking and watching casually - with plenty going on (I'm a keen cyclist and spend a...
