Water is one corner of England where you're guaranteed a knock-out ornithological
experience.
This waterway is bird-tastic particularly in spring with Ospreys,
Cormorants and Nightingales. | |  | Waterways are a great place to see wildlife from a very
different perspective especially during spring. | |  | - Go bat watching in Northern Ireland or try Osprey spotting
at Rutland Water.
