Description
An understated nature reserve that attracts a lively and interesting range of birds. One viewpoint encourages the mingling of birdwatchers with passers-by and this generates conversation, information and, maybe, interest.
Among the birds you can see here are Smew, Black-necked Grebe, Northern Shoveler and Common Sandpiper.
