Beskrivning
The reservoir is shallow, having only a maximum depth of 9m (30’), which makes it very attractive to both dabbling and diving ducks. It occasionally attracts less common wildfowl, such as storskrake and sjöorre and gråhakedopping, svarthalsad dopping and svarthakedopping. Waders are often present in spring and autumn, including brushane, skogssnäppa, enkelbeckasin, rödbena, strandskata and mindre strandpipare. Scaling Dam can also be an excellent place to watch raptors and, from the hide, an eye should always be kept on the moorland plateau and valleys for blå kärrhök, brun kärrhök, stenfalk and Pilgrimsfalk and, if you are extremely lucky, röd glada or fjällvråk. The site is also good for summer visitors, such as gök, buskskvätta and lövsångare, and residents like svarthakad buskskvätta, forsärla and pilfink.
There is a hide for birdwatching where you might see tofsvipa, grågås, kanadagås, sångsvan and many wading birds.
