The Coney Meadow reed bed, which lies on the banks of the Droitwich Barge canal, was home to a variety of species of birds, reptiles and mammals, until a tragic blaze early in 2015, which saw 30 foot high flames sweep through the reserve, leaving 75 per cent destroyed. Restoration is in progress by the Canal and River Trust.
