Spent an enjoyable two and a half hours here while car being repaired. Although it was windy it was possible to get out of it, by getting down to the waters edge. I managed to find plenty of large rocks to sit on below the bank. If I'd had a digi SLR etc it would have been possible to get quite a few close ups, the birds must be used to all the people passing and feeding them.

Never been here before but heard quite a bit about it. Met one guy who said a pair of Black-necked Grebe has been here of late.

It is certainly a large area of water with 100s of assorted gulls.

The following is what I saw both at close range and in the distance:

Black Swan - 2
Grey Wag - 2
Goldfinch - 1
Reed Bunts - 3
Meadow Pipit - 1
Great-crested Grebe - 14
Tufties, Coot, Mallard, Mute Swan, Cormorant, Pied Wag, Canada and assorted gulls etc

Peacock - 2
Small Tortoisshell - 1
