Beskrivning
Westwood Dam and Woodland is a hidden gem for birdwatching in Sheffield. The area has a variety of birds of prey including ormvråk, Pilgrimsfalk, tornfalk, sparvhök, kattuggla and minervauggla. As well as this, the small streams and brooks found within the woodland support forsärla territories, as well as small numbers of grå flugsnappare in the summer.
Winter migrants include rödvingetrast and björktrast, as well as the occasional flock of sidensvans. Summer sightings include migrant lövsångare, trädgårdssångare, and gransångare, as well as breeding morkulla territories. The open water of Westwood Dam and Reservoir can produce some surprises, including sångsvan in previous years. The woodland supported some of the city's last known pairs of mindre hackspett in the early 2000s.
