Discover Lytchett Fields

We are really excited to announce some new events this year and a guided walk around one of our best kept secrets - Lytchett Fields - is one of them.

Lytchett Fields is an amazing reserve that has been transformed from arable land into a wetland haven for wildlife.

On this 3 hours guided walk, you will be enjoying the spring migration and learning identification tips and skills for all species seen. You might see some Linnet, Reed Bunting or Skylark on the arable land, and a wide variety of wildfowl, waders and the chance to see some birds of prey from the wetland viewpoint.

The walk will also take in the newly created dragonfly ponds and give you background into their development and the development of the reserve in general.
