Beschrijving

Created in the 1990's on the site of a former reserve - Wath Ings. Has a track record of passage waders, especially in the Autumn. Around 30 species of wader are recorded annually - including a good chance of a rarity. A range of habitats mean a good species list can be built easily in a morning or afternoon. Ringmus breed around the centre and the reedbeds have breeding Roerdomp, Waterral and Baardman. Breeding waders and wildfowl include Kluut, Zomertaling and Tafeleend and the gull colony is of national importance and includes Zwartkopmeeuw. A large Spreeuw roost generally forms most winters.
