Stockers Lake, Nature reserve in Rickmansworth, United Kingdom.
The 40-hectare reserve contains several islands formed by gravel ridges, providing protected spaces for local and migratory birds throughout the year.
The lake emerged from gravel extraction operations during the 1920s and 1930s, with materials used in the construction of Wembley Stadium.
The Friends of Stocker's Lake organization manages conservation efforts and conducts regular wildlife monitoring programs with community participation.
Visitors can access three bird observation hides and a dedicated heron viewpoint through non-paved paths starting from the Aquadrome car park.
The lake hosts Hertfordshire's largest heronry, where up to 20 nests accommodate breeding herons and little egrets in trees on the water islands.
