Descripción

Staveley Nature Reserve has lots of biodiversity, orchids, butterflies, dragonflies, moths, otters as well as numerous species of birds, with over 200 species recorded and always the chance of a rarity. The area consists of two large, flooded former gravel pits, fringed with rushes, along with several small pools and drainage channels. Some extensive grassland and small areas of woodland. Hebridean sheep and Highland cattle graze the land throughout the year.

The reserve has stunning views, flat walking and a circular walk if required. Bird hides overlook the lakes and reed bed and also have feeding stations. Staveley is renowned for Rascón Europeo, which can often be seen taking spilt grain beneath the feeding stations. Other birds that can be spotted are Cetia Ruiseñor, Bigotudo, Escribano Palustre, Carricerín Común, Lechuza Común, Milano Real, Charrán Común, Avoceta Común, Agachadiza común, Zarapito Real, Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común and Tarro Blanco.
