Description
Brockholes was previously a sand and gravel quarry and has been transformed into a natural haven. Fields brimming with orchids and yellow rattle, woods shining bright with bluebells. The land has been regenerated as a mosaic of key habitats such as pools, reedbeds and woodland. In spring birds like Vanneau huppé, Huîtrier pie, Chevalier gambette and more breed on Meadow Lake and Number 1 Pit. In May, Courlis corlieu roost in large numbers, while throughout spring and summer swifts, Hirondelle de rivage and Faucon hobereau create aerial displays over the lakes. Autumn is the time to see Balbuzard pêcheur passing over Brockholes on their way back to Africa, while in winter, the reserve is packed with migratory waders. Other birds you can see here are Chardonneret élégant, Mésange à longue queue, Mésange noire, Phragmite des joncs, Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, Courlis cendré and Fuligule morillon.
