Description
Derwent Reservoir is always good for wildfowl, especially for wintering ducks, geese and swans. Fiskeørn nest locally in spring/summer. One of the owl boxes near the hide is often occupied by Slørugle in breeding season. Waders (Lille Præstekrave, Stor Præstekrave, Vibe, Rødben, Strandskade, Storspove, Mudderklire) and woodland bird species (Stor Flagspætte, Spætmejse, Tit and Finch flocks) are also regular.
