Why should I visit Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre?
The Hauxley Nature Reserve has recently seen an extensive remodelling and extension, with the latest addition being the new environmentally friendly Wildlife Discovery Centre! The building is constructed from a number of hay bales and other eco-friendly materials with plenty of innovative resources and techniques, making it the perfect building for a wildlife centre!
Visitors who come along during the summer can expect to discover a gorgeous variety of flowers that excel in attracting Butterflies, Dragonflies, and other interesting insects!
The Reserve also has no trouble attracting a plethora of bird species from Coot to Curlew! The Spring and Autumn seasons boost the number of bird sightings in the area and on average the centre sees up to 140 different bird species each year as well as surprise visits from the likes of Red Squirrels, Stoats, and even Otters!
