Surprised you left out Salters lane area for its now defunct flocks of Yellowhammers & Golden Plovers along with Brambling in some winters.
Adding to the scarce birds Velvet Scoters, Pec Sand, L T Duck. Temminck's Stint & Spotted Crake amongst others. All on Forge Mill lake.
Cheers Hughie.
Yeah, the first Spotted Crake I saw was in the marsh, at the time Andy Warren was the warden. Also saw the Velvet Scoters on Swan pool. My own SV list stands at 126, most of which I ticked between 1986 and 2001.
