Fosse Meadows, Sharnford
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
Total species seen at this site:
This site of approximately 20 acres was opened in 1993 with extensive grassland, woodland, ponds and a small lake with a bird hide. The areas of woodland are maturing well now and the whole site supports a rich diversity supporting good populations of birds and insects.
The site offers good habitat for a wide range of birds, though isn't special for any particular species. The old hedgerows, grassland and developing woodland do make this a particularly interesting site for insects and other invertebrates. A man made bank at the edge of the main lake is used by Sand Martins.
