Descrição
This is a Ramsar internationally important wetland site, a Special Area of Conservation, a Special Protection Area and a Nature Conservation Review site managed by the RSPB.
The resident Grou-comum are a highlight and are one of the few breeding colonies in Britain. There is also the largest breeding colony of Maçarico-de-bico-direito. Various raptors are resident or regular visitors and large flocks of ducks, swans and geese spend winter in the flooded fields, including winter migrants.
