Description
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 Rougequeue noir 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 Macreuse noire, Plongeon imbrin and Plongeon catmarin tend to favour this end, don't forget to check waterside vegetation for Bruant des roseaux and Bouscarle de Cetti. Also in Summer Rousserolle effarvatte and Phragmite des joncs.
(4). South East shore, a favourite spot for geese, a Oie rieuse was found in the past, but more usual today are Ouette d'Égypte and small numbers of Bernache nonnette. Bergeronnette des ruisseaux favour this area and waders such as Chevalier gambette, Chevalier guignette and Chevalier culblanc occasionally drop in.
