Description
Orgreave Lakes are a remnant of the coal industry. Its mixture of river, lakes, open ground and woodland of various ages. The lakes are home to wildfowl throughout the year, including potápka malá, potápač veľký, hlaholka severská, chochlačka sivá, chochlačka vrkočatá and kačica hvizdárka. Typical waders at the lake edges include cibík chochlatý, kalužiačik malý, kulík piesočný and lastúrničiar strakatý. Many other species can turn up during migration like bojovník bahenný, pobrežník belavý, potápka čiernokrká and čorík čierny. Along the River Rother, look out for rybárik riečny and volavka popolavá. Surrounding Orgreave Lakes is extensive rough grassland where a variety of small birds may be found including škovránok poľný, ľabtuška lúčna and stehlík konôpka. Hedgerows and areas of scrub and young woodland also support a range of smaller birds, including hýľ obyčajný, drozd plavý, and drozd červenkavý and drozd čvíkota in the winter months.

Access
Access is possible from a number of directions, including from near the sports ground on Washfield Lane in Treeton. At the bottom of this road is the railway line that divides the area in two. To reach Orgreave Lakes, cross the footbridge and continue to another bridge across the River Rother. The lakes are then ahead and to your left and a complete circuit of these is possible (about 2,5 km).
