Thames Valley Park has a nature reserve which includes over 80 acres of wetland habitat alongside the River Thames. The reserve has extensive areas of wildflower-rich grassland, several ponds surrounded by reed beds and a wide variety of native trees and shrubs. It’s home to a diverse range of wildlife, with almost 40 different species of birds. Reed warblers and reed buntings make their homes here in summer and winter visitors include bittern, water rails and ducks such as the shoveler and gadwall. Dragonflies and damselflies abound, as well as the common toad and the harmless grass snake. Pontoons and other viewing areas offer visitors a privileged glimpse into this fascinating world.
