November 20, 2024

The Meadowgate Lake Reserve is the prime location for seeing the greatest variety of species and generally the biggest numbers of birds. Winter wildfowl totals can be impressive with regular counts of over 200 Wigeon and Teal and slightly smaller numbers of Mallard, Tufted Duck and Pochard. Gadwall, Goldeneye and Goosander are usually present in significant numbers, though sadly Ruddy Duck no longer features as a common sight here. Scarce and rare wildfowl are more likely to be encountered in the reserve than elsewhere in the park with Pintail, Garganey, Mandarin, Scaup, Common Scoter, Red-breasted Merganser, Smew, Long-tailed Duck, Eider and Green-winged Teal recorded in recent years and the area's first American Wigeon arriving in 2008. More obvious are the resident squadrons of Canada and Greylag Geese; more welcome are the regular skeins of Pink-footed Geese that fly over the park between October and February.
