Descrizione

Since the former power station at Fawley was demolished, the area is going through big changes, housing is planned to be built, offset by improved habitats for birds. NOTE during the building and habitat improvements some paths may be temporarily closed or rerouted. The North side of Calshot Spit has extensive saltmarsh and mudflats, to the South of the Spit at low tide is mud mixed with stones. During Winter Oca colombaccio, Volpoca, Fischione, Alzavola, Codone, Svasso maggiore, Tuffetto, Smergo minore, Beccaccia di mare, Corriere grosso, Pivieressa, Pittima reale, Chiurlo maggiore, Piovanello pancianera, Pettegola, Pantana and Piro piro piccolo are common in various numbers. Landbirds include Usignolo (in small numbers) and good numbers of Saltimpalo, Usignolo di fiume, Migliarino di palude, Magnanina comune, Spioncello marino and Ciuffolotto. During Summer Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola, Bigiarella are present. For birds feeding on saltmarsh or mudflats a visit 2-3 hours before/after high tide is best (see link to tide table below). The high tide roost is marked on map, press STARS for more information.
