Calvert Jubilee

Calvert Jubilee is a 22 hectare nature reserve in Calvert in Buckinghamshire. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[1]

Most of the site is a deep lake, created by the extraction of clay for the brick industry. It is now used in winter by wildfowl such as mallard, tufted duck and pochard. There are two bird hides, and the trust has created three floating islands to enable waterfowl to breed safe from foxes. The lakeside has a variety of wild flowers and butterflies.[1]

There access from the road which passes between Calvert Jubilee and Grebe Lake.[1]
