Beschreibung
Westwood Dam and Woodland is a hidden gem for birdwatching in Sheffield. The area has a variety of birds of prey including Mäusebussard, Wanderfalke, Turmfalke, Sperber, Waldkauz and Steinkauz. As well as this, the small streams and brooks found within the woodland support Gebirgsstelze territories, as well as small numbers of Grauschnäpper in the summer.
Winter migrants include Rotdrossel and Wacholderdrossel, as well as the occasional flock of Seidenschwanz. Summer sightings include migrant Fitis, Gartengrasmücke, and Zilpzalp, as well as breeding Waldschnepfe territories. The open water of Westwood Dam and Reservoir can produce some surprises, including Singschwan in previous years. The woodland supported some of the city's last known pairs of Kleinspecht in the early 2000s.
