Descrizione
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 Cigno reale, Tuffetto, Porciglione, Migliarino di palude, Beccaccino and other birds can be seen. Scricciolo and Porciglione are often seen near the boardwalk. Sometimes in winter Gufo di palude can be seen. Other species on the marsh include Pispola and Ciuffolotto and a seasonal highlight, Forapaglie macchiettato, is unmistakeable singing in the reeds in spring.
