Descrizione
The two reservoirs are side by side, accessed via a well-made path (it can get a bit muddy in wet weather). The reservoirs are surrounded by grass, mature trees and hedges. Please keep to signposted trails and stay off the grassed areas at all times (they hold rare and protected Waxcap fungi species).
Regular species on the lakes include Moretta, Tuffetto, Zafferano, Cormorano, Svasso maggiore ,Folaga, Germano reale, plus many others. The water's edge attracts Ballerina gialla, Ballerina nera Garzetta, Piro piro piccolo and Martin pescatore .
The surrounding areas can hold many of the passerine species you'd expect to find in the woodlands of South Wales, depending on the time of the year.
Parking is free for the first two hours, and there is a nice cafe (with toilet facilities). A small hide is situated on the northern side of the smaller Lisvane reservoir, which is particularly useful in the winter when the path around this reservoir is closed, to prevent disturbance.
This site has attracted a selection of rarer species over the years, so it's worth checking reports to see if there is anything unusual around. Strolaga maggiore, Falaropo beccolargo, Falaropo beccosottile, Mignattino comune, Moretta dal collare have all been seen. A total of approximately 140 species have been recorded here.

Two hours would be plenty of time to walk around the reservoirs and nearby trails - but it is easy to spend more time, especially with a stop at the cafe!
