Descrizione
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 Croccolone, Gambecchio nano, Piovanello tridattilo, Voltolino and Zigolo della Lapponia over the years. More recently it has become a roosting area for Garzetta, in winter they can often be seen on sunny days on the south-facing side of brambles and other vegetation. Marzaiola are fairly regular in Spring, and Merlo dal collare 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 Pavoncella, Gulls and Piviere dorato, which are often dispersed by Sparviere and more recently Falco pellegrino.
