Descripción

The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Cuchara Común and Ánade rabudo norteño with numbers of Silbón Europeo and Cerceta Común rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include Ánade friso, Porrón Europeo and Porrón Osculado, with the occasional Porrón Bastardo.

Avetoro Común may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with Aguilucho pálido and Búho Campestre. Up to 50,000 Estornino Pinto use the reedbeds to roost in winter.

The scrub around the reedbeds has Cetia Ruiseñor which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also Carricero Común and Carricerín Común in summer along with a few Buscarla Pintoja in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of Curruca Zarcerilla are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage Colirrojo Real, Colirrojo Tizón, Tarabilla Norteña and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
