Aylestone Meadows

Been sparking up here for many years. Great place

It’s really peaceful

We are frequent visitors to the Meadows and have been over many years. Walking through the different seasons gives very different views of both the wildlife and flora. Winter can be a challenge, walking boots needed in some parts. Summer offers plenty of shade on a hot day. Yesterday we set off in search of the elusive Kingfisher, unsuccessful as it happened but we still saw a variety of wildlife, Emperor Dragonflies, Damselflies and numerous types of butterflies. Birdlife included Swans, Moorhen families, Mallards and Coots. I even spotted a Goldcrest foraging amongst the leaf litter, a rare sighting for me!
