Descrição
Along the lane close to the carpark Pardal-montez 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. Zarro-comum, Pato-olho-d'ouro, Merganso-grande are likely in winter, Ganso do Egipto can be quite frequent, and if lucky, unusual species such as Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca or Mergulhão-de-pescoço-preto 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, Pica-pau-malhado-grande quite frequent, Pica-pau-verde occasional, Pica-pau-malhado-pequeno rarely. Large flocks of Tentilhão-comum can occur, as well as Pintassilgo, Verdilhão-comum and an occasional Tentilhão-montês.
Detalhes
Acesso
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.
