In the 'Birds of Ayrshire and Wigton' of 1869, the Eurasian bittern ("Botaurus stellaris") is recorded to have once bred at Bruntwood Loch. The 1861 OS Gazetteer refers to it as a "quondam loch", meaning former loch, having once been much frequented by waterfowl, but now completely under the plough.
