It used to guarantee you seeing a Long Eared Owl for a while but I'm not sure if it still does. I have had a Canvasback there and Black Grebes as well as a few other birds so it is well worth a visit if your in that area.

It can get very busy at times so bear that in mind.

I've been there once + remember seeing a Long-eared Owl. It was some years back- whenever the Black-faced Bunting was there, which must be about the rarest bird recorded there, though Canvasback must come close- only seen the one in Norfolk at Welney + the beet factory.
