Descrizione

This reserve on the River Yare has a mix of wetlands, woodlands and meadows, with great birding all year round. Spring is the best time to see Usignolo di fiume, Forapaglie comune, Forapaglie macchiettato and Cuculo, as well as hearing the booming call of the resident Tarabuso and seeing the display flights of the Falco di palude. During summer, you might spot a hunting Lodolaio or Barbagianni, and the resident Martin pescatore are most active in the warmer months. In autumn, Falco pescatore are regular on passage and Basettino flock together, as do thousands of Storno. Winter brings peak wildfowl numbers and more Tarabuso from the continent, plus large flocks of Lucherino and Organetto minore, occasionally hosting a rarer finch species. The harrier roost also reaches its peak, sometimes including Albanella reale. The reserve also has resident Chinese water deer and otters.
