Description

RSPB Dorman’s Pool is a rectangular lake bordered to the North and South by industry’s access roads, to the East by a high slag embankment and to the West by an abandoned railway line and a line of trees. About 50% of the pool is covered with reeds. This is attractive to good numbers of breeding Rousserolle effarvatte and Râle d'eau, and to Butor étoilé and Panure à moustaches in some winters. The other half is mostly shallow water in winter and spring, but this dries up to some degree every summer, creating varying areas of mud and very shallow water. Dorman’s Pool also attracts numbers of waders, geese and ducks, as well as Busard des roseaux from April to October.

Interesting and unusual birds that have been seen here include Pie-grièche écorcheur, Torcol fourmilier, Faucon hobereau, Bécasseau semipalmé, Bécasseau de Bonaparte, Bécasseau tacheté, Phalarope de Wilson, Phalarope à bec étroit, Bernache à cou roux, Marouette ponctuée and Bergeronnette citrine.
