Description

Fairlop Waters is the largest country park in Redbridge and has a wide diversity of habitats like grassland, woodland, ponds, and lakes. The large boating lake has Bernache du Canada, Foulque macroule and Vanneau huppé. A nesting habitat has been created on the main island for birds. Around the smaller fishing lake Grèbe huppé, Cygne tuberculé and sometimes Chevalier guignette can be observed.

The surrounding area is a mix of open scrub with some thick areas of shrubs and trees which attract Fauvette grisette, Fauvette babillarde and Fauvette à tête noire. To south of the main complex and golf course is a small fenced off nature reserve. Birds that you can spot in the area all year round include Pic vert, Alouette des champs, Héron cendré, Chevêche d'Athéna, Bruant des roseaux and Pipit farlouse among others. Some winter visitors are Roitelet huppé, Fuligule milouin, Canard souchet and Fuligule morillon.
