Opis
Shallow pools and a larger lake alongside the Coquet, with young woodland and reedbeds. Formerly a nature reserve managed by the gravel company that excavated the site, it was sold to a trout fishery when the gravel company was bought out around the start of this century. Despite this, it still retains some birding interest, though with access limited to a public bridleway along the south side. Hides were put in about 30 years ago but are now decaying and difficult to use; plenty of viewing points from outside though.
The site holds wintering wildfowl (ducks, geese, łabędź krzykliwy). czapla nadobna are frequent, and czapla biała occasional. In summer nesting waders (notably ostrygojad, brodziec piskliwy, and sieweczka obrożna; also some kulik wielki). The area also houses a brzegówka nesting colony. Otters are also present.
