Description
The area of the Gann estuary encompasses the shoreline and bay by the mouth of the Gann Pill (small river) and the Pickleridge Pools that lie just behind the sea wall. At the pools you can see birds like Βαρβάρα and (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς. Also ducks like (Ευρωπαϊκή) Βουκεφάλα, (Ευρωπαϊκό) Σφυριχτάρι and (Ευρωπαϊκό) Κιρκίρι and sometimes Θαλασσοπρίστης, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη and (Ευρωπαϊκή) Νεροκοτσέλα. During migration many species of waders can be seen here too when it's high tide. The Gann and bay is the place for flocks of Δαχτυλιδόχηνα in winter, as well as small numbers of divers and grebes. Also gulls roost here and terns can be seen on migration.
