Description
At Ewelme the overgrown watercress beds provide shelter for rodents, which in turn attracts bird predators such as tornipöllö, isohaarahaukka, 3 egret species and harmaahaikara. Smaller birds include viherpeippo, tikli, mustapääkerttu and pajusirkku, pursued by varpushaukka. King's Pool may have kuningaskalastaja, pikku-uikku, Liejukana, tukkasotka and nokikana.
