Young trees and bushes and allotments and a small amount of reeds. A small viewing screen around the lake but with trees growing in front. Best to walk around to view the lake allowing views of the whole lake.

The reserve is best on passage where Northern Wheatearare regular in spring. Recent rarities have included Eurasian Wryneck, White Stork, Garganey, Arctic Tern and Short-eared Owl.
