Description

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 Cygne tuberculé, Grèbe castagneux, Râle d'eau, Bruant des roseaux, Bécassine des marais and other birds can be seen. Troglodyte mignon and Râle d'eau are often seen near the boardwalk. Sometimes in winter Hibou des marais can be seen. Other species on the marsh include Pipit farlouse and Bouvreuil pivoine and a seasonal highlight, Locustelle tachetée, is unmistakeable singing in the reeds in spring.
