Beschrijving
Waders like Goudplevier, Kievit and Watersnip occurred regularly in impressive gatherings, with Bonte Strandloper and Tureluur in smaller but significant numbers. At times a Blauwe Kiekendief, Smelleken or Velduil hunted the valley. When flooding persisted or reoccurred beyond the winter months the waters invariably many passage migrants of which ducks, gulls, waders, and hirundines were the most numerous. More unusual visitors to the valley include Roodhalsfuut, Visarend, Grote Pieper and IJsgors. During the 20 years to 1980, 78 species are known to have bred and a further 6 may have done so. It is truly regrettable during the present decade; increased drainage efficiency has greatly diminished the ornithological significance of the area. Hopefully with Hanson’s Restoration plans for Slaynes lane and with the increased involvement of the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, along with careful water level management, this part of the Valley can be restored to its former glory.
