Description
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the highest canal aqueduct in the world providing excellent views over the River Dee that flows 127 feet below. Mandarin Duck, голем северен нуркач, Дива патка, воден ќос and other riparian species are expected. Whilst in the air around you corvids, raptors and hirundines fly playfully in the wind, e.g., обична пиштарка, глувчар, полска врана.
In the trees alongside the canal by which you walk, finches, tits and thrushed are abundant (елова сипка, обичен свиркач, обична ѕвингалка, царче, etc.).
