Descrição
The reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has become important for wildlife due to the wide range of habitats including wet woodland, grassland, open water and river side, which are home to many different types of birds. In 2003 a redundant sewage treatment works on the site was replaced with a new reedbed habitat and a boardwalk which enabled public access with minimal disturbance to wildlife. Bird species found here are Abetouro-comum, Guarda-rios-comum, Narceja-comum, Coruja-do-mato, Felosa-comum, Cuco-canoro, Andorinha-das-barreiras, Andorinha-das-chaminés, Garça-real, Mergulhão-pequeno, Escrevedeira-dos-caniços, woodpeckers and woodland bird species.
