Description

Giant's Park is off the beaten track and you'll probably have the whole place to yourself. Nice to walk round the shore to spot shore birds or through the middle to spot field birds. Among the birds you can see here are Eurasian Curlew, Common Shelduck, Common Chaffinch and Common Redshank.
