Gouthwaite Reservoir SSSI near Pateley Bridge supports large
populations of Wildfowl and Waders, and offers great opportunities
for Raptor watching on the surrounding moors. The AONB's
moorlands and moorland edge pastures contain regionally-significant
breeding populations of Curlew, Lapwing, Redshank and Snipe, whilst
populations of Pied Flycatcher and Woodwarbler occur in ancient
woodlands like Hackfall.
