Wildlife to watch forBystock Pools’ variety means it is home to a huge amount of wildlife.
Look for dragonflies skimming the surface of its open water and tufted ducks as they dive to catch food.
On summer nights listen for the churring calls of nightjars across the heathland and search for the pale green lights of glow worms signalling from the meadow.
In winter it’s the voices of tawny owls that you’ll hear, while stonechats call from the tops of gorse bushes.
