Beschrijving
Westwood Dam and Woodland is a hidden gem for birdwatching in Sheffield. The area has a variety of birds of prey including Buizerd, Slechtvalk, Torenvalk, Sperwer, Bosuil and Steenuil. As well as this, the small streams and brooks found within the woodland support Grote Gele Kwikstaart territories, as well as small numbers of Grauwe Vliegenvanger in the summer.
Winter migrants include Koperwiek and Kramsvogel, as well as the occasional flock of Pestvogel. Summer sightings include migrant Fitis, Tuinfluiter, and Tjiftjaf, as well as breeding Houtsnip territories. The open water of Westwood Dam and Reservoir can produce some surprises, including Wilde Zwaan in previous years. The woodland supported some of the city's last known pairs of Kleine Bonte Specht in the early 2000s.
