Beschrijving
Middleton Moor Lagoons is an isolated pocket of marsh, pools and reedbeds in the Derbyshire Peak District. With no similar habitat nearby, it is a draw to passage waders, gulls and waterfowl. It is probably the only site in the Peak District where Kleine Karekiet regularly breed and one of very few sites locally for Rietzanger also. In spring and early autumn high artic waders regularly stop off to feed before continuing on their migration.
Wilde Zwaan turn up annually as they migrate to and from their wintering grounds in the UK. Kleine Plevier breed and Wulp from the nearby moors often drop in to wash and roost, with relatively large flocks seen in early spring. Geelpootmeeuw is regular in late summer. The surrounding scrub is good for warblers, finches and chats. The site has a long bird list, with many rarities having been found over the years.
