Description
Particularly good for ducks during autumn migration and winter if birds have not been flushed out. Possibly dozens of Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Great Crested Grebe or Eurasian Coot. In november a loon is possible.
In the field north of the lake Stone-curlew, Little Ringed Plover and Northern Lapwing are possible breeders depending on the year and in November and March, the small section of wet grassy area is a good spot for Jack Snipe.
Good number of passerines always possible in bushes and trees surrounding the lake particularly during migration period.
