Description

Abbey Park is located along the river Misbourne, an important chalk stream. A number of birds seen at rivers can be seen such as Grey Wagtail and large groups of Barn Swallow. Also good chance on Red Kite. The range of fauna is often dependent on the flow of the river which can be highly variable over the years.
