Dagenham Chase

London  >  United Kingdom

Dagenham Chase is one of the largest nature reserves in the London area, and it would certainly take a whole day to cover the site thoroughly.

Descripción

The main area of the Dagenham Chase reserve is the Slack, an area of shallow water that attracts winter wildfowl, waders and gulls. It has attracted Agachadiza Real, Correlimos de Temminck, Correlimos Tridáctilo, Polluela Pintoja and Escribano Lapón over the years. More recently it has become a roosting area for Garceta Común, in winter they can often be seen on sunny days on the south-facing side of brambles and other vegetation. Cerceta Carretona are fairly regular in Spring, and Mirlo Capiblanco sightings are fairly regular in April and early May. The Slack suffers from disturbance by dogs, people and Sparrowhawks, which means birds frequently do not stick around.

The surrrounding area is extensive hawthorn scrub, with open areas. By the river Rom (1) is a stand of rare Black Poplar trees, there is also large areas of grassland and enclosures with maturing trees in them. In cold weather the Eastbrook School Playing Fields (2) are an excellent site for Avefría Europea, Gulls and Chorlito Dorado Europeo, which are often dispersed by Gavilán Común and more recently Halcón Peregrino.
