Large groups of gulls can be seen here. Between the flocks of Gabbiano reale nordico sometimes Gabbiano glauco, Gabbiano di Franklin and Gabbiano sghignazzante have been seen. Also groups of Gabbiano corallino can be seen here. Among the other birds you can encounter here are Piovanello pancianera, Corriere grosso, Pettegola, Chiurlo piccolo, Chiurlo maggiore, Pantana, Pivieressa, Pittima minore, Frullino, Garzetta, Spioncello and Zigolo delle nevi.
Dettagli
Accesso
There are numerous walks around the estuary including two circular walks. Please follow way marked routes as some paths are permissive and exist only through the goodwill of the landowning community. One walk of 5 km is shown on the map below.
Note: The Gannel is tidal and a dangerous place to swim or wade, in order to walk right around the estuary you will need to avoid high tide. There are two foot bridges, at Trennance the bridge is covered for about an hour either side of the high tide whereas the Penpol bridge is covered for about 2 1/2 hours either side of high tides.
