Description
Fairlop Waters is the largest country park in Redbridge and has a wide diversity of habitats like grassland, woodland, ponds, and lakes. The large boating lake has Kanadska guska, Liska and Vivak. A nesting habitat has been created on the main island for birds. Around the smaller fishing lake Ćubasti Gnjurac, Crvenokljuni Labud and sometimes Mala Prutka can be observed.
The surrounding area is a mix of open scrub with some thick areas of shrubs and trees which attract Grmuša Pjenica, Grmuša čevrljinka and Crnokapa Grmuša. To south of the main complex and golf course is a small fenced off nature reserve. Birds that you can spot in the area all year round include Zelena žuna, Poljska Ševa, Siva Čaplja, Sivi Ćuk, Močvarna Strnadica and Livadna Trepetljka among others. Some winter visitors are Zlatoglavi Kraljić, Glavata Patka, Patka Žličarka and Krunata Patka.
