Arthur John's review
I was surprised to find no reviews of this excellent site. The site is usually busy with birders (obviously keeping it to themselves). Last time I went, there were breeding pairs of tern and oystercatcher, plus many other water and woodland birds.
teamsaint's review
The pools weren't full of birds although there were Tufted Duck, Shoveler, Pochard, Mallard, G. C. Grebe, Gadwall, Teal and Ruddy Duck present. There were also Brambling, Common and Mealy Redpolls, Siskin, Linnet and Chaffinch in the woodland. Pros
- Green Sandpipers and woodland birds.
Cons
- Low wildfowl numbers.
hazzeryoda's review
Managed to see two Kingfishers on my last outing along with Reed Buntings and even a Cetti's Warbler. Bitterns can be seen by the patient also.
A great reserve.
