Description
Created in the 1990's on the site of a former reserve - Wath Ings. Has a track record of passage waders, especially in the Autumn. Around 30 species of wader are recorded annually - including a good chance of a rarity. A range of habitats mean a good species list can be built easily in a morning or afternoon. Полевой воробей breed around the centre and the reedbeds have breeding Большая выпь, Водяной пастушок and Усатая синица. Breeding waders and wildfowl include Шилоклювка, Чирок-трескунок and Красноголовый нырок and the gull colony is of national importance and includes Черноголовая чайка. A large Обыкновенный скворец roost generally forms most winters.
