Description
The main accessible area of the nature reserve is a wet woodland with tree species such as alder and birch. There is an unmarked footpath that does a short loop around the area, although it is uneven and can be wet at times. Typical birds for this habitat are present, flocks of tits Mésange bleue, Mésange charbonnière, Mésange à longue queue and Roitelet huppé are common as are Pigeon ramier and thrushes. Pic épeiche and Grimpereau des bois are usually heard or seen, as well as other common birds such as Troglodyte mignon.
A public footpath can be taken to make a longer loop, from which neighbouring pasture/farmland can be surveyed. In the winter a flock of Grive litorne and Grive mauvis is likely. Accenteur mouchet and Chardonneret élégant are common. Pipit farlouse is possible.
Taking the public footpath to the east also gives a view of a small flooded pond area in the field. It often hosts various waterfowl such as Canard colvert, Fuligule morillon, Bernache du Canada and Oie cendrée and in the winter Canard siffleur and Mouette rieuse. If you wanted to check for rings a long lens or telescope would be useful.
The Cranberry Bog and Black Mere part of the reserve is off-limits to casual visitors due to safety concerns, however Grand Cormoran can often be seen perched in the trees that surround that area, but it likely attracts various other birds to the general area anyway.
