Beschreibung
The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Löffelente and Spießente with numbers of Pfeifente and Krickente rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include Schnatterente, Tafelente and Schellente, with the occasional Bergente.
Rohrdommel may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with Kornweihe and Sumpfohreule. Up to 50,000 Star use the reedbeds to roost in winter.
The scrub around the reedbeds has Seidensänger which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also Teichrohrsänger and Schilfrohrsänger in summer along with a few Feldschwirl in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of Klappergrasmücke are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage Gartenrotschwanz, Hausrotschwanz, Braunkehlchen and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
