Descrizione
This old gravel pit was decomissioned in the early 1960's and shows little signs of the scars of its former life. The lakes , ponds and wet areas are always a great draw to wildlife including a good selection of birds. At least one star of the show is Usignolo singing from the dense scrub. Other water dependent species can be seen such as Martin pescatore, Tuffetto, Folaga and Gallinella d'acqua. Beccaccia is a regular winter visitor.
This 14 hectares of managed reserve now uses ponies and cows for conservation grazing to help the site keep its diverse selection of habitats. Meadow, heathland, coppice, old woodland and the 9 very different water filled areas. Great Holland Pits is mostly surrounded by arable fields to three sides; but to the western boundry it has the waterway of Holland Brook as a wildlife corridor funneling birds into the oasis of Great Holland Pits.
