Description

This site is probably the best site to see pensassirkku​​​​​​ in the UK, there is not many places where you can see this special bird whilst you are still in your car in the car park, but this is one of those places. The area is operated as a working farm, so please DO NOT encroach onto fields and crops, livestock such as PONIES/SHEEP and CATTLE can be expected, the area is well served with many paths, some of which are extremely steep and have styles. BE WARNED the area (marked with three stars on map) is PRIVATE and has NO ACCESS. The reserve has woodland and many hedges and over grown scrubby areas, which also make it good for migrants.
