ETHEROW COUNTRY PARK

This site guide is taken from the previous county birding website and was written by Judith Smith, but requires a more detailed up-to-date version, so I would invite any local birder with good knowledge of the site to write or assist in the writing of such a guide.

Several different woods and cloughs, connected by R. Etherow, plus Compstall Reservoirs with some introduced exotic species. Breeding Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Goldcrest, Kingfisher (from CWT hide), Dipper, sometimes Redstart and Wood Warbler, all 3 woodpeckers. Winter flocks of Bramblings and other finches. Parking (some free) and excellent visitor centre at George Street, Compstall. Some parts suitable for disabled access.
