Description
Eyebrook Reservoir is an important site for wintering wildfowl, such as Свиязь, Чирок-свистунок, and Красноголовый нырок. Other habitats are marsh, mudflats, grassland, broad-leaved woodland and plantations. Other birds that can be seen here include Красный коршун, Чеглок, Скопа, Луток, Чернозобик and Золотистая ржанка. In migration periods scarcer species can be attracted to the reservoir's shores and these regularly include Краснозобик, Турухтан and Щёголь. Vagrants which have occurred include seabirds such as Северная качурка and Северная олуша, as well as Жёлтая цапля, Кваква, Степная тиркушка and a variety of other species, mostly associated with wetlands.
