Description
The lakes at Whisby Nature Park are surrounded by grassland, marsh, scrub and willow carr. Elements of the original quarry landscape remain, with fragments of heathland, old hedgerows and a small oak woodland. In spring and summer, flocks of tits and finches are joined by warblers. The lakes attract feeding Hirondelle de rivage and Hirondelle rustique, and Sterne pierregarin nest on the islands. Pouillot véloce along with Phragmite des joncs and Rousserolle effarvatte can be heard. Whisby Nature Park has also become synonymous with Rossignol philomèle. Another special bird is the Butor étoilé. Autumn brings the first sight of winter birds such as Roitelet huppé, Sizerin flammé and Bergeronnette des ruisseaux. In winter, the water levels are at their highest and wildfowl are numerous. The cold weather also brings with it huge murmurations of Étourneau sansonnet in their thousands, swarming and twisting across the misty lakes.
