Descripción
Staunton Harold Reservoir is one of those reservoirs where you can just do a quick 1 hour visit, to a full days birdwatching. A car is essential for this large site due to multiple start points and because some birds may be at distance a telescope is also essential.
(*1) (press STAR on map), the large car park (fee payable) near the reservoir dam (NOTE it is no longer permissible to walk on top of the dam - Police will be called if you do so) is one of the best places to see Gorrión Molinero, along with Pinzón Vulgar, Jilguero Europeo, Herrerillo Común, Carbonero Común, Carbonero Garrapinos and Trepador Azul. On the water expect to see Somormujo Lavanco, Zampullín Común, Focha Común, Gallineta Común, Cormorán Grande. Ánade azulón, Porrón Moñudo, Silbón Europeo and Cerceta Común can sometimes be seen here but they sometimes favour quieter parts of the reservoir.
(*2), Ticknall Arm, Zorzal Real and Zorzal Alirrojo can be found in trees and grass areas near footpaths and car park (free) here. On the water Cerceta Común and Silbón Europeo favour this area, in recent times a Colimbo Grande was found here as well.
(*3), Calke Car Park (free) Area. Another place to see Gorrión Molinero, with Escribano Cerillo, Carbonero Garrapinos, Herrerillo Común, Carbonero Común, Pinzón Vulgar and Jilguero Europeo. On the shoreline is a bird hide (facing North), a walk further West takes you over a boardwalk, look out overhead for Busardo ratonero, Gavilán Común and Cernícalo vulgar in this area.
(*4), Dimminsdale Area. Walk to the bridge from the nearby car park (free), from the bridge parapet look for Porrón Moñudo, Cerceta Común and Silbón Europeo often gather here, look through flocks carefully a Porrón Acollarado was seen here recently. Also Garza Real and Garceta Común are often seen in this area.
