Help us describe this site
Houghton Brook Pools is on our list of county birding sites, but nobody has written it up yet. These guides come from members who know the places, so if you bird here we’d be glad of a few lines: what the habitat is like, where to stand, and what turns up at what time of year.

Parking
Just beyond the huge warehouse there are a couple of pull ins. I use the one by the roundabout. There’s rubbish and fly tipping everywhere. It’s not pleasant
An alternative is park on Parkside estate and walk across fields and by building site where I found the Black Red Starts last Oct . Not very far.
