Descrição
The Salmenwiesen meadows are easily accessible and offer a good mix of birds all year round, especially at times when there is water on the meadows and in the ditches. When the meadows are flooded, a good number of birds use the meadows as a place to feed and rest. Ganso-comum, Ganso do Canadá, Garça-real, Galinha-d'água, Pato-real and Gralha-preta are nearly always present. At times they are joined by Cegonha-branca, Pato-ferrugíneo and Marrequinha-comum.
During spring migration it is possible to see pairs or small groups of Cartaxo-comum and alvéola-amarela. If you are lucky, you may see Narceja-comum , Felosa-malhada or even a rarity such as a Garca-vaqueira! During spring and summer there is a good chance of observing Papa-amoras-comum, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo and Andorinha-das-chaminés. Birds of prey can also frequently be observed soaring over the meadows.
In winter, Petinha-dos-prados and alvéola-branca are usually present and can be heard and seen foraging on the meadows and in the reeds.
