This water lies close to Dick Hudsons pub in the East Morton direction. It is usually high in water and does not attract many birds. Species recorded are Canada Goose, Cormorant, Mallard, Goosander, Tufted Duck and Great Crested Grebe, the latter outside of breeding. Greenshank has been recorded and also Grasshopper Warbler in the newly planted wood that part surrounds the reservoir.
