Description
Wildlife
As the water and land habitats mature they will support an increasing variety of birds. Formerly present on the sewage works site were breeding sedge warbler and tufted duck. Passage migrants included northern wheatears, swallows, martins and swifts. Snipe, greenfinch, goldfinch, linnet and tree sparrow have already made their presence known. Slow worms are also present on the site.Facilities
