Head to The Lodge, Sandy to find the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. This rare habitat is the place to spot some of the reserve’s iconic species such as breeding Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads.
Beyond the heathland, The Lodge nature reserve’s acid grasslands are a magnet for large flocks of thrushes who feed there in winter. Its hilly woodlands are filled with towering oaks, where in summer Spotted Flycatchers catch food for their brood.
The walk will include a mid-way lunch stop.
Meet outside the cafe of The Lodge Nature Reserve, off B1042 Potton Road, Sandy, Central Bedfordshire, SG19 2DL. [The car parking fee is £6, free for RSPB members.]
