I decided to go here for a gentle walk and see what was about, on the only half decent day (weatherwise) of the week.
There is a walk around two lakes, with wooded sections and a feeding station...but the paths are almost always very muddy and dog walkers use the paths a lot.Kingfishers can be seen(but not today) and a pair of Great Crested Grebes are usually resident.
One in breeding plumage already:
