Standlake Common / Pit 60

ReedbedGravel pit & lake

Pit 60 provides some of the best hide-based birding in the county. Shallow margins and islands attract waders, including Lapwing, Redshank, Little Ringed Plover and occasional Greenshank. Winter sees strong wildfowl diversity, while surrounding scrub holds warblers and finches.

The hide's position allows prolonged, comfortable scanning, making it popular with patch birders.
