Descrição
Whittle Dene Reservoirs are part of a water supply system interconnected by streams and aqueducts offering a mosaic of habitats for varied wildlife. The reserve is popular with Andorinha-das-chaminés, Andorinhão-preto, Maçarico-real and many passage migrants; the site is also one of the most reliable places in Northumberland to see Alvéola-amarela-comum ssp flavissima. Águia-pesqueira visit in the summer, often perching in a dead tree to the north of the Great Northern Reservoir. There is a bird hide overlooking the northern reservoir and this is accessed from part of Hadrian's Wall Trail, which passes along the southern edge. There is also a tern nesting platform which is visible from the hide. The autumn attracts regular visitors such as Pássaro-bique-bique (often wintering too, along the stream on the NW side of the site), Maçarico-das-rochas, Perna-verde-comum and big numbers of wildfowl.
Rarer visitors have included Merganso-pequeno, Gaivina-preta, and Gaivina-d'asa-branca.
