Beschreibung
Derwent Reservoir is always good for wildfowl, especially for wintering ducks, geese and swans. Fischadler nest locally in spring/summer. One of the owl boxes near the hide is often occupied by Schleiereule in breeding season. Waders (Flußregenpfeifer, Sandregenpfeifer, Kiebitz, Rotschenkel, Austernfischer, Großer Brachvogel, Flußuferläufer) and woodland bird species (Buntspecht, Kleiber, Tit and Finch flocks) are also regular.
