Descrizione
Weir Wood Reservoir of approximately 81 acres at the western end of the reservoir has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. One hide is located adjacent to the car park on the southern shore. The eastern end of the reservoir, where the dam and works are located is home to a sailing and angling club. Most of the southern shore is not really accessible. Public footpaths follow the northern shore for much of its length. The western end contains a number of tern rafts and Sterna comune are regularly noted, along with Cormorano, Airone cenerino and Garzetta.
The woodlands are home to a large variety of woodland species such as Luì piccolo, Capinera, Picchio verde and Scricciolo. The reedbeds at the extreme western end produce Cannaiola and Beccafico. Often seen on the slopes of the dam at the eastern end are Piro piro piccolo, Chiurlo piccolo, Corriere piccolo and Pettegola, whilst the lake is frequented by Anatra mandarina and Oca egiziana. During the spring and early summer Lodolaio and at least one Falco pescatore are normally seen along with Rondine, Rondone comune and Balestruccio. During May 2025 a pair of Falco cuculo were seen in the woods to the north east end of the lake.
During winter months the Friends of Weir Wood place bird feeders in various positions around the hide.
