Beschrijving

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 Grote Canadese Gans, Meerkoet and Kievit. A nesting habitat has been created on the main island for birds. Around the smaller fishing lake Fuut, Knobbelzwaan and sometimes Oeverloper can be observed.

The surrounding area is a mix of open scrub with some thick areas of shrubs and trees which attract Grasmus, Braamsluiper and Zwartkop. 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 Groene Specht, Veldleeuwerik, Blauwe Reiger, Steenuil, Rietgors and Graspieper among others. Some winter visitors are Goudhaan, Tafeleend, Slobeend and Kuifeend.
