Beschrijving
Woodberry Wetlands has 12 hectares of reed-fringed ponds, hedgerows, meadows and dykes in the middle of the densely built-up areas of Manor House, Stoke Newington and Woodberry Down. It is a big contrast between the surrounding tower blocks and the wild wetland habitat with old oak trees. Woodberry Wetlands supports lots of species throughout the year, from wintering populations of Tafeleend, Slobeend and Krakeend, to Kleine Karekiet, Rietzanger and Rietgors who have migrated from Africa for spring and summer. Also Dodaars, Grote Gele Kwikstaart, Putter, Cetti's Zanger and Zwartkop can be observed. More than 50 bird species breed in the area.
