Beskrivning

Despite the unofficial birding status, the "main pit", in particular, has attracted interesting species and there is an active support group for the site. Development of an adjacent field is likely to affect the site and, in particular, disrupt the last remaining pilfink colony in the region. The nearby fishing lakes offer a different range of species.

Extra information

A former hide has become unusable thru undergrowth and growing woodland blocking the view. Refer to Herts County Council's rights of way map for additional access information.

Proposals for extensive housing development on an adjacent field are under discussion. If approved, it would have a severe impact on the sole remaining colony of pilfink in Hertfordshire.
