Beschrijving
Dishley Pool (more of a lake) is hidden away behind an industrial estate in Loughborough, a number of open playing fields are on the pools Western side, a number of sports take place on Saturdays and Sundays, a visit on a weekday early morning is probably best. Check the sports fields for Scholekster and Kievit often mixed in with the more numerous Kokmeeuw. In Winter these fields often have Koperwiek, Kramsvogel and the odd Grote Lijster.
Dishley Pool is a fishing lake (Western side only), in Autumn/Winter check through the ducks carefully. A Ringsnaveleend has been found here in recent years. More usual are Wilde Eend, Kuifeend, Slobeend, Wintertaling, Smient, Krakeend and occasionally Brilduiker. The area attracts Boomvalk, Zwartkop and Fitis during the Summer. Continue to walk further North to check along the River Soar and Grand Union Canal, IJsvogel are regular here. Be sure to check nearby electricity pylons, Slechtvalk sometimes rest here.
In recent years Ransuil and Siberische Tjiftjaf have been seen.

The long distance A6 road runs immediately South of the site. Press P on map for directions. The long layby South of the A6 is a bit further to walk, but BEWARE when crossing the sometimes very busy A6 road, the small Derby Road Playing Fields car park, quickly fills up when sports are being played especially at weekends. NOTE this small car park is locked overnight.
