Beschreibung
This large reservoir in the shape of a L, has a footpath that runs around most of it's sides, with short sections of minor roads in places. The Northern arms are designated as nature reserves. Some of the birds seen here are Bruchwasserläufer, Waldwasserläufer, Trauerente (on over night migration), and occasionally Bergente. There is a good chance of wild swans especially if there is freezing conditions further North.

JaZusätzliche Informationen
The reservoir, like many in the South West is used by watersports enthusiasts, the shallower area furthest from the dam is probably best for birds, due to less disturbance.
