Description
The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Canard souchet and Canard pilet with numbers of Canard siffleur and Sarcelle d'hiver rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include Canard chipeau, Fuligule milouin and Garrot à oeil d'or, with the occasional Fuligule milouinan.
Butor étoilé may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with Busard Saint-Martin and Hibou des marais. Up to 50,000 Étourneau sansonnet use the reedbeds to roost in winter.
The scrub around the reedbeds has Bouscarle de Cetti which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also Rousserolle effarvatte and Phragmite des joncs in summer along with a few Locustelle tachetée in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of Fauvette babillarde are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage Rougequeue à front blanc, Rougequeue noir, Tarier des prés and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
