Beschreibung
These close reservoirs are on the Western outskirts of the town of Penryn, they run in a North East/South West line. Stithians Reservoir (see separate entry on this website) is reasonably close to the North West and some interchange of birds can occur, as usual following hot prolonged summers when water levels drop, muddy edges can be good for autumn migrant waders and on occasions Neartic species. Of the two, College Reservoir has a more heavily wooded surround, a car park (fee payable) is situated between the two.
