Descripción
Cathkin Marsh Wildlife Reserve is a beautiful area of fen and marshy grassland. It is home to many birds which can be viewed from a hide and a boardwalk. The hide overlooks a pond where Cisne Vulgar, Zampullín Común, Rascón Europeo, Escribano Palustre, Agachadiza común and other birds can be seen. Chochín Común and Rascón Europeo are often seen near the boardwalk. Sometimes in winter Búho Campestre can be seen. Other species on the marsh include Bisbita Pratense and Camachuelo Común and a seasonal highlight, Buscarla Pintoja, is unmistakeable singing in the reeds in spring.
