Descrição
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 Narceja-real, Pilrito de Temminck, Pilrito-sanderlingo, Franga-d'água-grande and Escrevedeira da Lapónia over the years. More recently it has become a roosting area for Garça-branca-pequena, in winter they can often be seen on sunny days on the south-facing side of brambles and other vegetation. Marreco are fairly regular in Spring, and Melro-de-peito-branco 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 Abibe-comum, Gulls and Tarambola-dourada, which are often dispersed by Gavião da Europa and more recently falcão-peregrino.
