previously acquired permit.

Pete Berry |
Having covered the site for the past 20 years Pete's list
includes some very good birds including Honey Buzzard, Lesser Scaup,
Ringed-necked Duck, Leach's Petrel, Long-tailed Duck, Slavonian Grebe, Little
Egret and both Glaucous and Iceland Gulls. |

Sean Sweeney |
Sean's highlights for this site include both
Slavonian and Black-necked Grebes, Whooper Swan, Lesser Scaup, Smew, Jack Snipe,
Glaucous, Iceland and Caspian Gulls, White-winged Black Tern, both Green and
Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Spotted Flycatcher and Yellowhammer. He has several
species yet to catch up on including some of the passage waders which should
surely fall sooner or later, and an over-flying Osprey seen from within Heaton
Park itself and so not countable on his actual reservoir list. Ah, the cruelties
of site listing!
