Beschrijving

Dark bellied Rotgans, Smient, Wintertaling, Kluut, Tureluur and Bonte Strandloper flock to Farlington Marshes in their thousands, creating unrivalled bird watching opportunities. The winter also sees the return of the ever popular Velduil, which hunt over the Point Field and southern end of the main marsh.

During the spring and summer migrations, the Point Field and bushes are hotspots for warblers and other small passerines passing through. Redstarts, Grauwe Vliegenvanger, Draaihals, Tapuit and Paapje are regularly spotted.

During the summer months Cetti's Zanger, Rietzanger and Kleine Karekiet can be heard chattering, while Kievit, Tureluur, Graspieper and Veldleeuwerik are busy out on the marsh as they settle down to breed.
