Thanks Cliff.

Everything from common every day birds such as chaffinch, great tits, magpie and carrion crow to the more unusual juvenile peregrine falcon have been seen on-site.Among the long list of species are also cormorant, lapwing, jackdaw, teal, pochard, shell duck, gadwall, fieldfare, redwing, nuthatch, tree creeper, buzzard, tufted duck, heron, tree sparrow, little grebe, kingfisher, partridge, kestrel, blackcap, goldeneye, widgeon, linnet, pied wagtail and great crested grebe.

Plenty to see, but the sites water areas are large so a long lens is a must.
