The November Water Rail survey found 17 calling birds across the reserve - reedbed, reservoir lagoon, main lake, sheltered lagoon, wildside and scrape. Bitterns can be found either on the north shore of the reservoir lagoon or any of the main lake shores where there is a reed fringe. Look for Siskins and Redpolls feeding in birch or alder trees (particularly wildside and sheltered lagoon).
