Beskrivning
Weir Wood Reservoir of approximately 81 acres at the western end of the reservoir has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. One hide is located adjacent to the car park on the southern shore. The eastern end of the reservoir, where the dam and works are located is home to a sailing and angling club. Most of the southern shore is not really accessible. Public footpaths follow the northern shore for much of its length. The western end contains a number of tern rafts and fisktärna are regularly noted, along with Storskarv, gråhäger and Silkeshäger.
The woodlands are home to a large variety of woodland species such as gransångare, svarthätta, Gröngöling and gärdsmyg. The reedbeds at the extreme western end produce rörsångare and trädgårdssångare. Often seen on the slopes of the dam at the eastern end are drillsnäppa, småspov, mindre strandpipare and rödbena, whilst the lake is frequented by mandarinand and nilgås. During the spring and early summer lärkfalk and at least one Fiskgjuse are normally seen along with ladusvala, tornseglare and hussvala. During May 2025 a pair of aftonfalk were seen in the woods to the north east end of the lake.
During winter months the Friends of Weir Wood place bird feeders in various positions around the hide.
