Descripción
Bird species here can vary from those on the nearby two, larger reservoirs, so it's worth crossing the road for a look. Best viewing is from the road and the embankment - the hide is now tumbledown and its view is blocked by undergrowth. The accessible woodland can add songbirds for variety and it's part of a longer route around the reservoirs.

Accesso
This is probably the least accessible of this group of reservoirs (which can limit disturbance). Car parking is availble on nearby roads, but this is not guaranteed. There is a public (paid) carpark on the other side of Startops Reservoir.
On site, paths are level but unsurfaced and can be muddy, only partly accessible to wheelchairs. A circular route (2,3 km) diverts away from the reservoir, partly along a road, where caution is needed.

SíInformación extra
There are no toilets or other facilities. The deep end is viewable from Tringford Road and the embankment. However, it's worth the walk to the hide, on the chance of something different.
Much of the reservoir is fished by an angling society; take care not to use their entrance from Tringford Road or to cause disturbance.. Some species, eg, Cormorán Grande appear to have been discouraged.
