Descripción

Black Devon Wetlands is a small area (28 hectares) untouched wet grassland and wetland habitat which includes freshwater pools, brackish pools and reedbeds. This new site is being developed by RSPB Scotland. The reserve is set back from the Inner Forth and forms an important area for large flocks of wintering wading birds and wildfowl. The close proximity to the Firth of Forth means that the site acts as a sanctuary and high tide roost for the birdlife using the estuarine mudflats. The first of the Ánsar piquicorto arrive back in the estuary as winter approaches. Among the other birds you can see are Cisne Vulgar, Rascón Europeo, Avión Zapador, Cerceta Común, Carricerín Común, Buscarla Pintoja, Tarro Blanco, Zampullín Común, Zarapito Real, Archibebe Común, Alondra Común, Jilguero Europeo, Tarabilla común and Escribano Palustre.
