Porto  >  Portugal

The banks of Ave River offer good chance to break the monotony of urban life and spot gulls, waders as well as some passerines and sea birds.

Beschrijving

This spot is located 30 km north of Porto on the northern riverside of Ave estuary, where on low tide some mudflats become accessible for birds to forage. There is a nearby dock where gulls congregate. There (and looking from there to the southern river side), it's possible to spot Geelpootmeeuw (all year around) but it particularly pays off to keep and eye on gulls during winter since it's possible to find Kleine Mantelmeeuw, Kokmeeuw, Zwartkopmeeuw, Stormmeeuw and Grote Mantelmeeuw. On the mudflats it's easy to spot Steenloper and Oeverloper. During migration the mudflats serve as a stopover site for waders and it's possible to spot Wulp, Rosse Grutto and Grutto. On the trees and garden spaces its possible to find Merel, Roodborst, Putter, Zwartkop, Koolmees, Europese Kanarie and Kuifleeuwerik, to name just a few.
