Descrizione

The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Mestolone and Codone with numbers of Fischione and Alzavola rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include Canapiglia, Moriglione and Quattrocchi, with the occasional Moretta grigia.

Tarabuso may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with Albanella reale and Gufo di palude. Up to 50,000 Storno use the reedbeds to roost in winter.

The scrub around the reedbeds has Usignolo di fiume which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also Cannaiola and Forapaglie comune in summer along with a few Forapaglie macchiettato in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of Bigiarella are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage Codirosso, Codirosso spazzacamino, Stiaccino and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
