The purpose for this Wildlife Site is to show the General Public what an excellent resource we have here with the lake. The local Angling Club, Telford Sailing Club, and dog walkers use it daily, whilst birdwatchers wait anxiously for their next rarity.

Hi Tom message from Ed. Apologies, it was such a crappy recording that I deleted it hoping to get a better one which of course I didn't. Doh! And of course at the time its potential significance did not enter my head. Hopefully lesson learned the hard way Ed
