Descrizione
The woodlands include conifer plantations, mature deciduous woodland, marshy woodland and there are also meadows and ridings. This variety of environment is being enriched by thinning out existing woods and reducing the amount of conifers. A wide variety are birds are attracted to the area, including Cincia bigia, Cincia mora, Beccaccino, Passera mattugia and Cutrettola. The large water area attracts various Hirundines and Terns in summer, but winter migrants are notable, including up to 10,000 wildfowl (which contributes to the site's status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest).

The route around the reserve is about 7 miles, with no short cuts. It's recommended to allow a full day for a full circuit, to allow time for rest and refreshment and bird spotting. There are no facilities within the reserve, other than at the fishing lodge, so food and drink will need to be taken.
