Description
Eyebrook Reservoir is an important site for wintering wildfowl, such as Eurasian Wigeon, Common Teal, and Common Pochard. Other habitats are marsh, mudflats, grassland, broad-leaved woodland and plantations. Other birds that can be seen here include Red Kite, Eurasian Hobby, Osprey, Smew, Dunlin and European Golden Plover. In migration periods scarcer species can be attracted to the reservoir's shores and these regularly include Curlew Sandpiper, Ruff and Spotted Redshank. Vagrants which have occurred include seabirds such as Leach's Storm Petrel and Northern Gannet, as well as Squacco Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, Black-winged Pratincole and a variety of other species, mostly associated with wetlands.
