Places to see birds

Deep Hayes Country Park

Set in a natural bowl in the hillside, Deep Hayes Country Park is a delightful mixture of woods, meadows and pools. The park covers 143 acres and has a visitor centre and toilets.
Adjacent to the park there is a quiet and picturesque section of the Caldon Canal, with large wooded areas either side and open meadows which flood in winter - this area happens to be my "local patch" and over the years I have recorded 70 species of birds, including all three British woodpeckers.
