Description
The Trent Port area is flat and overlooks a number of fields and the River Trent. The River Trent is a good location for Common Sandpiper during passage, Little Egret and Common Kingfisher. The surrounding fields and hedgerows have good numbers of Red-legged Partridge, Reed Bunting and Yellowhammer. 150 species have been recorded here including local scarcities such as Wood Warbler, Hawfinch, Caspian Gull and Pied Flycatcher whilst Jack Snipe and Goosander are annual visitors. In winter the River Trent is prone to flooding the fields, which provide some additional ornithological interest. Species recorded during floods includes Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail, Common Pochard and Tufted Duck.
