Number 3 of a 7 part series
Situated on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Snipe Dales is one of few semi-natural wet valley systems still surviving.
Snipe Dales Country Park offers a variety of attractive walks through 36 hectares (90 acres) of mainly coniferous woodland. There are picnic tables in pleasant surroundings by the car park, as well as by the central ponds and in a few other secluded areas.
Nine newly excavated ponds are being colonised by water plants and attract frogs, toads and dragonflies. Herons frequently visit the ponds.
Tree creepers and goldcrests forage in the woodlands, especially in autumn and winter. Siskin have nested in the woods; when first recorded in 1985, this was only the second breeding record for Lincolnshire.
Both tawny and barn owls can be regularly seen, while the quick dash of a sparrowhawk may reward those with sharp eyes. Listen for the cries of jays and the occasional drumming of a great spotted woodpecker.
Chiffchaff, whitethroat, lesser whitethroat and sedge warbler can be heard in many places in summer.
