Description

Fishermens Car Park is located off the road from Oakham onto the Hambleton Peninsula and offers extensive views of the North Arm of Rutland Water looking across towards Barnsdale. In winter many rare species of birds have been observed from this point and on sunny days the north facing views are well lit. A scope is essential for viewing at this locality as most birds are viewed at a distance.

Wildlife Highlights

In winter months rare grebes, sea ducks, divers and winter swans. Up to date information can be found at  http://www.lros.org.uk/News.htm
