Descrição
Staunton Harold Reservoir is one of those reservoirs where you can just do a quick 1 hour visit, to a full days birdwatching. A car is essential for this large site due to multiple start points and because some birds may be at distance a telescope is also essential.
(*1) (press STAR on map), the large car park (fee payable) near the reservoir dam (NOTE it is no longer permissible to walk on top of the dam - Police will be called if you do so) is one of the best places to see Pardal-montez, along with Tentilhão-comum, Pintassilgo, Chapim-azul, chapim-real, Chapim-preto and Trepadeira-azul. On the water expect to see Mergulhão-de-crista, Mergulhão-pequeno, Galeirão-comum, Galinha-d'água, Corvo-marinho-de-faces-brancas. Pato-real, Zarro-negrinha, Piadeira and Marrequinha-comum can sometimes be seen here but they sometimes favour quieter parts of the reservoir.
(*2), Ticknall Arm, Tordo-zornal and Tordo-ruivo-comum can be found in trees and grass areas near footpaths and car park (free) here. On the water Marrequinha-comum and Piadeira favour this area, in recent times a Mobêlha-grande was found here as well.
(*3), Calke Car Park (free) Area. Another place to see Pardal-montez, with Escrevedeira-amarela, Chapim-preto, Chapim-azul, chapim-real, Tentilhão-comum and Pintassilgo. On the shoreline is a bird hide (facing North), a walk further West takes you over a boardwalk, look out overhead for Águia-d'asa-redonda, Gavião da Europa and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro in this area.
(*4), Dimminsdale Area. Walk to the bridge from the nearby car park (free), from the bridge parapet look for Zarro-negrinha, Marrequinha-comum and Piadeira often gather here, look through flocks carefully a Zarro-de-colar was seen here recently. Also Garça-real and Garça-branca-pequena are often seen in this area.
