Description: Compartment 1 (known as 'Skylark Grassland') at The Sanctuary Bird Reserve, Pride Park, Derby. This small area of short grass and wet rushes was specially protected by the formation of Derby City's first bird reserve in 2004. The site protects habitat for skylark, meadow pipit, reed bunting, lapwing and other ground-nesting and passage migrants such as wheatear, stonechat, ring ouzel. In 2005 a Dartford warbler spent six weeks on the site, mostly amongst the small bushes in the centre of the photograph - the only other Derbyshire record was made in 1840. The Sanctuary was subsequently declared a Local Nature Reserve by its owners, Derby City Council, in 2006.
