I` ii be at Dams

Back to morth yorkshire map for this visit to a place newly discovered Filey Dams Nature Reserve
apparently last remaining freshwater marsh of any size in the area,(although the north yorks moors routes has scalling dam?) Filey Dams OK,fine with some migratory birds.
Further also decent place to observe plants, small mammals even if your real lucky amphibians.

GREAT TIME WATCHING
WITH MATTHEW MARCH 2015

This quiet place consists large freshwater lagoons surrounded marsh and grassland occassionly grazed with cattle.

Soft rush dominates, joined in the shallow water by toad rush, bottle sedge and branched bur-reed alongside distinctive yellow flag iris.

A short walk takes you to the Main Hide among small copse with nestboxes used by tree sparrows, this leads along a boardwalk to pond-dipping platform at edge of a quiet pool.Sometimes dragonflies skim the water settling on the mat of amphibious bistort; if you are quite fortunate might see a water vole perhaps among the water forget-me-not. It is recommended that a dusk or very early visit will enable Owls,Foxes and others to be witnessed.All three British species of newt occur here which are smooth, palmate and great crested, the latter species recognised nationally important numbers.
l personaly recommend a visit.
