Opis
Along the lane close to the carpark mazurek are quite common, one of the few places in Cheshire. Unusual waterfowl may be found on any of the large lakes, however a telescope is recommended as views can be quite distant. głowienka, gągoł, nurogęś are likely in winter, gęsiówka egipska can be quite frequent, and if lucky, unusual species such as gęś białoczelna or zausznik can occasionally show up.
The woods, forest and field hedgerow adjacent to the lakes are a good place to find the common tits and finches. All 3 wood peckers are reported, dzięcioł duży quite frequent, dzięcioł zielony occasional, dzięciołek rarely. Large flocks of zięba can occur, as well as szczygieł, dzwoniec and an occasional jer.
Szczegóły
Dostęp
Acre Nook Sand Quarry and Lapwing Hall Pool are located west of Macclesfield. Turn off Holmes Chapel Road onto Lapwing Lane and follow it until reaching a small amount of car parking under trees, the road is a dead end so you cannot go too far. Press a P on the map for directions. From here you can make a there-and-back walk along Acre Nook Silt Lagoon or a loop around Lapwing Hall Pool. A small amount of roadside parking is available on Congleton Road, but access to the footpaths is only via the eastern corner.
