Descripción

Crook of Baldoon is a breathtaking panorama of saltmarsh, mudflats and hills. Cairnsmore of Fleet and the Galloway Hills act as a backdrop to wild saltmarsh and mudflats with a rich birdlife. Between December and March thousands of winter visitors such as Ánsar piquicorto and Barnacla Cariblanca geese and a large number of Tarro Blanco, Cisne Cantor and Cisne Vulgar feed and roost in the area. In the hawthorn and crab apple trees you might see hundreds of Zorzal Alirrojo and Zorzal Real. Along the upper saltmarsh there are Collalba Gris, Bisbita Pratense and Alondra Común, as well as Pardillo Común and Jilguero Europeo. The area is also a breeding habitat for Avefría Europea and Archibebe Común.
