Descrizione
Staunton Harold Reservoir is one of those reservoirs where you can just do a quick 1 hour visit, to a full days birdwatching. A car is essential for this large site due to multiple start points and because some birds may be at distance a telescope is also essential.
(*1) (press STAR on map), the large car park (fee payable) near the reservoir dam (NOTE it is no longer permissible to walk on top of the dam - Police will be called if you do so) is one of the best places to see Passera mattugia, along with Fringuello, Cardellino, Cinciarella, Cinciallegra, Cincia mora and Picchio muratore. On the water expect to see Svasso maggiore, Tuffetto, Folaga, Gallinella d'acqua, Cormorano. Germano reale, Moretta, Fischione and Alzavola can sometimes be seen here but they sometimes favour quieter parts of the reservoir.
(*2), Ticknall Arm, Cesena and Tordo sassello can be found in trees and grass areas near footpaths and car park (free) here. On the water Alzavola and Fischione favour this area, in recent times a Strolaga maggiore was found here as well.
(*3), Calke Car Park (free) Area. Another place to see Passera mattugia, with Zigolo giallo, Cincia mora, Cinciarella, Cinciallegra, Fringuello and Cardellino. On the shoreline is a bird hide (facing North), a walk further West takes you over a boardwalk, look out overhead for Poiana, Sparviere and Gheppio in this area.
(*4), Dimminsdale Area. Walk to the bridge from the nearby car park (free), from the bridge parapet look for Moretta, Alzavola and Fischione often gather here, look through flocks carefully a Moretta dal collare was seen here recently. Also Airone cenerino and Garzetta are often seen in this area.
