I notice searching this forum that you didn't get a reply to your request. It doesn't really suprise me. I've just moved to South Wiltshire and I have to say its the most unreported Wildlife area I've ever come across.
In fact when ever I check websites or magazines for info on Wildlife in Wilts its always exremely brief and most likely the north around Swindon .

I'm not sure why this is , I have a few ideas but I too would like to know of any good places.

I'm surprised this thread went unanswered since 2008

The a number is decent sites listed here:

Fatbirder - Wiltshire

Might be worth contacting some of the local clubs to find some more locally kool spots.

Thanks Nige

From the longest reply to the quickest. I've seen those sites and look I say they tend to concentrate on North wilts or the Plain area . No one seems to bother with South Wilts. I've found a few spots myself and I'm going to the Gilling RSPB Group this Friday but technically they are a Dorset Group .

Hi,

If you haven't already, then it might be worth checking the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust map: Wiltshire Wildlife Trust | Reserves | Our nature reserves
