Description
At Ewelme the overgrown watercress beds provide shelter for rodents, which in turn attracts bird predators such as Ανθρωποπούλλι, Ψαλιδιάρης, 3 egret species and Σταχτοτσικνιάς. Smaller birds include (Ευρωπαϊκός) Φλώρος, (Κοινή) Καρδερίνα, Μαυροσκούφης and (Μεγάλο) Καλαμοτσίχλονο, pursued by (Κοινό) Ξεφτέρι. King's Pool may have (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, (Κοκκινόλαιμο) Νανοβουτηχτάρι, Αρκοπετείναρο, Μαυροκέφαλη Πάπια and (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα.
