More about this Streamdays hosted webcam
This StreamdaysFREE cam shows Weir Wood Reservoir and Ashdown Forest. At the western end of the reservoir is a Local Nature Reserve. The rest is used for fishing and water sports and the camera shows views up and down the reservoir.
The reservoir has a breeding colony of great crested grebes and migrating ospreys in Spring and Autumn. The area used to be a river valley and was used as an ironworks in Roman times. There is a large slagheap marking the site. The reservoir was completed in 1953 and is owned by Southern Water.
The best views of the nature reserve can been seen from the main car park, though this camera comes a close second! There is a hide and a feeding station for wild birds, and many footpaths around the area.
Conservation work at the reserve is carried out by East Sussex County Council with the Friends of Weir Wood.
Camera type: Panasonic BB-HCM580
