Description

If you are in the area, this pond is a good spot to check as it can surprise birders positively. In spring/early summer it's possible to hear the calls of a Eurasian Moorhen that hides among the reeds. It's also common to see Mallard looking for food from the pond and if you're lucky, Gadwall can also be spotted during migration season. During summer time the golf field also attracts Common Gull, Black-headed Gull and White Wagtail.
