Description
The area is flat but tends to get muddy in the winter. There is a car park but be aware that the gates are locked at dusk. If the place is locked, there is parking on the road nearby (at Watercolour housing development). Mercer's Park takes a couple of hours to explore thoroughly. There are several lakes. The most productive one is usually Spyne's Mere, which is a designated nature reserve. On a good day you can see a good variety of water birds, with a few Toppdykker, Brunnakke and many Krikkand, Toppand, Snadderand and Dvergdykker.
You can often find Grønnsisik and Brunsisik in the alder trees and winter thrushes. Less easy to find are Tårnugle and occasional Lappfiskand.
There are plenty of Sandsvale in season, which sometimes attract Lerkefalk. Warblers and finches are plentiful.
