Common breeders at the lagoon include, Red-poll, Reed Bunting, Stonechat, Meadow Pipit, all the tit family, Coot, Mallard, Moorhen, Mute Swan, Little Grebe, Water Rail and Snipe.  Duck such as Gadwall, Wigeon and Shoveler have all over summered and it is suspected that some of these duck species have bred in the Lagoon.
