Descripción

CEGB Reservoir or Teardrop Lake is a former brick pit. At one time it had a muddy shoreline and a large reedbed, nowadays the water is much deeper so diving birds and terns on passage and a large gull (Laridae) roost are the main targets for the at times numerous birdwatchers.

(1). Be sure to check this area, a Colirrojo Tizón was found in the car park here in the Winter of 2004 - 2005.

(2). South Shore, with the whole reservoir surrounded by a tarmac path, from here with the sun behind you, you can see the whole area of water (NOTE a telescope is essential).

(3). North End, diving species such as Negrón común, Colimbo Grande and Colimbo Chico tend to favour this end, don't forget to check waterside vegetation for Escribano Palustre and Cetia Ruiseñor. Also in Summer Carricero Común and Carricerín Común.

(4). South East shore, a favourite spot for geese, a Ánsar careto was found in the past, but more usual today are Ganso del Nilo and small numbers of Barnacla Cariblanca. Lavandera Cascadeña favour this area and waders such as Archibebe Común, Andarríos Chico and Andarríos Grande occasionally drop in.
