Descripción
Whittle Dene Reservoirs are part of a water supply system interconnected by streams and aqueducts offering a mosaic of habitats for varied wildlife. The reserve is popular with Golondrina Común, Vencejo Común, Zarapito Real and many passage migrants; the site is also one of the most reliable places in Northumberland to see Western Yellow Wagtail (flavissima). Águila Pescadora visit in the summer, often perching in a dead tree to the north of the Great Northern Reservoir. There is a bird hide overlooking the northern reservoir and this is accessed from part of Hadrian's Wall Trail, which passes along the southern edge. There is also a tern nesting platform which is visible from the hide. The autumn attracts regular visitors such as Andarríos Grande (often wintering too, along the stream on the NW side of the site), Andarríos Chico, Archibebe Claro and big numbers of wildfowl.
Rarer visitors have included Serreta Chica, Fumarel Común, and Fumarel Aliblanco.
