Opis

The Netherfield Lagoons is a nature reserve that is situated on the Trent Valley Flood Plain and has been partly used as a dump for coal slurry but with two remaining gravel ponds. The two slurry pits are separated by a raised causeway, which is elevated some 50 feet (15 m) above the pits, giving a commanding view of the area. The largest tank is virtually full but retains some water, with muddy edges attractive to waders and roosting gulls and terns. The smaller tank is mainly deep water, attracting good numbers of wildfowl, with smaller birds, especially warblers, feeding and breeding around the tank edges. The site consists roughly of three compartments, the Slurry Lagoon, the Deep Pit and the two Gravel Pits.

Because of the largely temporary nature of the main slurry lagoon sites, much of the avian interest is restricted to passage and wintering birds. A railway embankment, which forms the western boundary of the site, holds piegża and other warblers during the summer and occasionally uszatka błotna in the winter. The scrubby banks of the gravel ponds are a frequent stopping-off point for small numbers of pokląskwa and a regular wintering site for kląskawka. kormoran roost on the electricity pylons.

During the spring, pools created on the slurry attract most of the common species of wader, with sieweczka rzeczna being common from April to September. Regular species in autumn include batalion, biegus zmienny, kwokacz, krwawodziób, samotnik and brodziec piskliwy. In the late autumn up to 4000 siewka złota and 1000 czajka use the pools as a roost site, along with several hundred świstun and smaller numbers of cyraneczka, Płaskonos and rożeniec. The weedy banks and fields attract good numbers of skowronek and świergotek łąkowy, with pliszka żółta being common on passage.

A good selection of rare birds have been located at the Netherfield Lagoons through regular checking of the migrant waders and wildfowl and have included swistun amerykanski, bąk, żuraw, głuptak, mornel, kulon (zwyczajny), biegus morski, biegus płaskodzioby, płatkonóg płaskodzioby, mewa blada, rybitwa białoskrzydła, jerzyk maly, trzciniak and łozówka.
