Descrizione
Tunstall Reservoir is a water supply storage reservoir completed in 1879, and now used solely to maintain minimum regulatory flows on the River Wear. The reservoir borders the Backstone Bank and Baal Hill Woods Site of Special Scientific Interest. At the northern end of the reservoir, there is a small marshy area that is designated as a private nature reserve. The rest of the reservoir is used by for both Boat and Bank Fishing.
Tunstall Reservoir supports a small number of breeding Svasso maggiore, Moretta, Smergo maggiore and Piro piro piccolo. Beccaccia di mare, Pettegola and Pavoncella sometimes roost on the dam. The Reservoir provides a regular winter roost venue for Gabbiano comune and a maximum of 850 birds has been recorded. Falco pescatore has been recorded on a number of occasions and Cormorano is present in the winter. Also a good chance to see Chiurlo maggiore and Ballerina gialla.
The woodland on the eastern edge of the reservoir contains a variety of trees, including, sessile oak, ash, alder, willows, rowan, hazel, holly and birch. This attracts birds such as Picchio verde, Picchio rosso maggiore, Picchio muratore, Beccaccia, Allocco, Balia nera and Codirosso.
