Large areas of wetland ( as well as several small woods ) at the western end of the lake form a nature reserve, managed by Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.
The area is designated a Special Protection Area of international importance for its wintering populations of Gadwall ( some 4 % of this species ’ European population ) and Shoveler.
It is home to the Anglian Water Bird Watching Centre.
Every August, the centre is the venue for the British Birdwatching Fair.
Other birds found here include Lapwing, Coot, Goldeneye, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Teal, Wigeon, Cormorant, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe and, most notably, Osprey, which were re-introduced to the area during 1996.
