As much as 40,000 of them visit every year which means this is a spot that is top take little twitchers!The top 7 species represented are Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Coot and Ebony headed Gull, but added to this there might be a huge selection of Shoveler, Gadwall, Goldeneye, Pintail and Great Crested Grebe! Within the springtime there is the uncommon sight of Cormorants nesting in trees, mostly of the places in Britain where they do this so a note that is significant your bird book.Good disabled use of the visitor centre (all on one degree) and viewing area plus adapted lavatory facilities, so everyone can come and revel in!
