Descripción

Two Tree Island is adjacent to the Thames Estuary and a winter refuge for a huge variety of winter wildfowl and waders. Good views of the Thames Estuary and surrounding area. Good for wildfowl and waders plus passage birds and raptors. Gulls all year, terns in summer. During winter the mudflats provide habitat for thousands of wildfowl and waders, including noisy flocks of dark-bellied Barnacla Carinegra that feed on the dense beds of eel-grass. Wander round the western section and you will reach the Lagoon Hide, where hundreds of waders such as Zarapito Real, Correlimos Común, Avoceta Común, Archibebe Común and Aguja Colinegra flock to in winter. With some luck you can see Búho Campestre hunting throughout the autumn and winter months.
