Beschrijving
Since the former power station at Fawley was demolished, the area is going through big changes, housing is planned to be built, offset by improved habitats for birds. NOTE during the building and habitat improvements some paths may be temporarily closed or rerouted. The North side of Calshot Spit has extensive saltmarsh and mudflats, to the South of the Spit at low tide is mud mixed with stones. During Winter Rotgans, Bergeend, Smient, Wintertaling, Pijlstaart, Fuut, Dodaars, Middelste Zaagbek, Scholekster, Bontbekplevier, Zilverplevier, Grutto, Wulp, Bonte Strandloper, Tureluur, Groenpootruiter and Oeverloper are common in various numbers. Landbirds include Nachtegaal (in small numbers) and good numbers of Roodborsttapuit, Cetti's Zanger, Rietgors, Provençaalse Grasmus, Oeverpieper and Goudvink. During Summer Rietzanger, Kleine Karekiet, Braamsluiper are present. For birds feeding on saltmarsh or mudflats a visit 2-3 hours before/after high tide is best (see link to tide table below). The high tide roost is marked on map, press STARS for more information.
