Wildlife
Breeding reed warbler, sedge warbler, and water rail. Snipe, water rail and grey wagtails winter at the site. Due to its situation near the sea the site is visited by many migrant birds in spring and autumn including firecrests, pied flycatchers and the occasional scarce migrant (the site is extremely underwatched by birdwatchers despite its potential).
