A diverse range of bird-rich habitats in a bend of the Nene

- Mike Weedon

Ferry Meadows CP

Situated within a meander of the River Nene, west of the city of Peterborough, this country park with diverse habitats is one of the best birding sites around the city. The three lakes are your best bet for special birds, with the larger two, Gunwade and Overton, drawing down scarce grebes, wildfowl and terns, such as Black and Arctic Terns on passage; and the smaller one, Lynch, being packed with surprisingly tame wildfowl (and even Water Rails along the reedy side). Kingfishers can be found along&nb
