Descripción

Almost two walks in one, with two potential starting points. An excellent mixture of habitats including tidal estuary, small woodland, saline pool, open fields and tree and shrub lined footpaths. The Tresillian River is a tributary of the River Fal, the estuary mud and sandbanks enable waders to continue to feed in shallow water close to high tide. Correlimos Común, Archibebe Claro, Archibebe Común, Zarapito Real, Andarríos Chico and Aguja Colinegra are usual in Spring/Autumn/Winter (press STAR on map). A small woodland is good for Reyezuelo Listado in Autumn/Winter, with Trepador Azul, Pico Picapinos and mixed flocks of Herrerillo Común, Carbonero Común, Mito Común especially in Winter (press Star on map). Tresemple Pool has regular sightings of Martín Pescador Común, with Rascón Europeo and Agachadiza común usually present along with calling Carricero Común​​. At high tide a number of waders use Tresemple Pool as a high tide roost (press STAR on map).

Be sure to check fields behind the pool for possible Garcilla Bueyera amongst livestock (press STAR on map). In Spring Águila Pescadora are regularly seen hunting for Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) in the main estuary. In the small village of St Clement Avión Común nest on the cottages. You can continue further South on a looping tree lined footpath that brings you back to St Clement. BE AWARE the footpath from the North starts off with a set of steps, for those less able/in wheelchairs use the St Clement car park for step free access.

The site has had some rarities. In 2015 Tresemple Pool had a Martinete Común, in 2016 the main estuary had a Pelícano Ceñudo.
