Description
At Ewelme the overgrown watercress beds provide shelter for rodents, which in turn attracts bird predators such as Slørugle, Rød Glente, 3 egret species and Fiskehejre. Smaller birds include Grønirisk, Stillits, Munk and Rørspurv, pursued by Spurvehøg. King's Pool may have Isfugl, Lille Lappedykker, Rørhøne, Troldand and Blishøne.
