Descripción

This reserve on the River Yare has a mix of wetlands, woodlands and meadows, with great birding all year round. Spring is the best time to see Cetia Ruiseñor, Carricerín Común, Buscarla Pintoja and Cuco Común, as well as hearing the booming call of the resident Avetoro Común and seeing the display flights of the Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental. During summer, you might spot a hunting Alcotán Europeo or Lechuza Común, and the resident Martín Pescador Común are most active in the warmer months. In autumn, Águila Pescadora are regular on passage and Bigotudo flock together, as do thousands of Estornino Pinto. Winter brings peak wildfowl numbers and more Avetoro Común from the continent, plus large flocks of Jilguero Lúgano and Pardillo Alpino, occasionally hosting a rarer finch species. The harrier roost also reaches its peak, sometimes including Aguilucho pálido. The reserve also has resident Chinese water deer and otters.
