Descripción
Tunstall Reservoir is a water supply storage reservoir completed in 1879, and now used solely to maintain minimum regulatory flows on the River Wear. The reservoir borders the Backstone Bank and Baal Hill Woods Site of Special Scientific Interest. At the northern end of the reservoir, there is a small marshy area that is designated as a private nature reserve. The rest of the reservoir is used by for both Boat and Bank Fishing.
Tunstall Reservoir supports a small number of breeding Somormujo Lavanco, Porrón Moñudo, Serreta Grande and Andarríos Chico. Ostrero Euroasiático, Archibebe Común and Avefría Europea sometimes roost on the dam. The Reservoir provides a regular winter roost venue for Gaviota Reidora and a maximum of 850 birds has been recorded. Águila Pescadora has been recorded on a number of occasions and Cormorán Grande is present in the winter. Also a good chance to see Zarapito Real and Lavandera Cascadeña.
The woodland on the eastern edge of the reservoir contains a variety of trees, including, sessile oak, ash, alder, willows, rowan, hazel, holly and birch. This attracts birds such as Pito Real, Pico Picapinos, Trepador Azul, Chocha Perdiz, Cárabo Común, Papamoscas Cerrojillo and Colirrojo Real.
