Decoy Country Park is a compact wetland and lake ideal for wildlife and waterscape photography — reedbeds, paddling birds, and reflective water with boardwalks and hides. Best at dawn or dusk for golden light, mist and active birds; winter and migration bring more species. Easily accessible with free entry, car park near the visitor centre, flat paths suitable for tripods and low gear. Weekday mornings are quieter; expect walkers and dog owners at peak times.
