Beskrivning
Brockholes was previously a sand and gravel quarry and has been transformed into a natural haven. Fields brimming with orchids and yellow rattle, woods shining bright with bluebells. The land has been regenerated as a mosaic of key habitats such as pools, reedbeds and woodland. In spring birds like tofsvipa, strandskata, rödbena and more breed on Meadow Lake and Number 1 Pit. In May, småspov roost in large numbers, while throughout spring and summer swifts, backsvala and lärkfalk create aerial displays over the lakes. Autumn is the time to see Fiskgjuse passing over Brockholes on their way back to Africa, while in winter, the reserve is packed with migratory waders. Other birds you can see here are steglits, stjärtmes, svartmes, sävsångare, kungsfiskare, storspov and vigg.
