Conservation Area.

|
This area was planted with trees many years ago and has been recently fenced, and set aside as a wildlife haven. |
Bird boxes have been placed around the pool to encourage nesting birds. |
Buckley Angling Association have an ongoing interest in not only angling but maintaining the Water and it's surroundings to benefit birds and animals alike. On the top of the "Rock" to the rear of the "Sand Bank" we have created an enclosed area and fitted it out with both bird and bat boxes. These will be monitorred throughout the coming years and hopefully they will be well used. In addition to the conservation area we have sympathetically created wood piles with branches cut from the trees around the pool. This also creates habitat for the likes of hedgehogs, mice and shrews and should be left undisturbed.
July 5th
Well we have all seen Geese, Swans, Mallards, Coots and Moorhens successfully breed on the Trap, and now we can add Tufted Ducks to the list. The chicks first made an appearance on July 2nd and so far so good.
The Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula) is a medium sized diving duck, smaller than a Mallard and the hen is distinctive by a very bright yellow eye. The species breed in the UK across lowland areas of Enland but less commonly in Wales.
