Descrição
In the 1990’s gravel was extracted from this area of farmland. When extraction was completed in 2000, it provided an opportunity to create new nature areas next to the River Thames. Now there is a mosaic of wetland habitats. Over 170 species of bird have been recorded. In winter you can see Estorninho-malhado murmurations at Dix Pit, a mile south of Stanton Harcourt. A small flock of Pato-de-bico-vermelho also lives in the area. Winter wildfowl include Zarro-bastardo, Pato-olho-d'ouro, Arrabio and Lugre. Garca-vaqueira, Garça-branca-grande, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Ógea sighted in July 2022 at Stanton Harcourt pit 60 (southernmost pit, nearest to the Thames).
