Descrizione
Lochwinnoch wetland is a mixture of broadleaved woodland, open water and marshy areas with some floating fen. In Spring Svasso maggiore perform their courtship rituals. Forapaglie comune and Forapaglie macchiettato can be heard singing from the wetter areas of the reserve. Also Luì grosso, Luì piccolo, Beccafico, Capinera, Bigiarella and Sterpazzola in the woods. Porciglione can be heard squealing from the reedbed areas.
In Autumn you can see large gatherings of Rondine, often roosting in the wetland vegetation, preparing for their long southward journeys. Flocks of Tordo sassello and Cesena arrive to strip the trees of their wild fruits. Look up and you might catch sight of mixed flocks of tits, Regolo and Rampichino alpestre in the woodland.
In Winter a wide variety of ducks have arrive along with variable numbers of Cigno selvatico. At this time of year there are frequent sightings of Albanella reale and other birds of prey. Martin pescatore and Pesciaiola are present, often affording excellent views.
