Descrição
The Rogerstown Estuary / Turvey Nature Reserve is set within the inner Rogerstown estuary – a relatively small, narrow and extremely shallow estuary with extensive mudflats at low tide. The reserve was an area of reclaimed land used as grazing pasture, but is now being restored back to saltmarsh. The saltmarsh is inundated with sea water to varying degrees on a daily basis. It is during these times that the brackish grasslands and inter-tidal creeks are extremely important for birds, providing safe roosting sites for thousands of wintering wildfowl and waders. The soft mud flats, exposed during low tides, are their feeding areas. The winter time is when Tarambola-dourada, Tarambola-cinzenta, Abibe-comum, Maçarico-real, Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Pilrito-comum, Seixoeira, Pilrito-sanderlingo, Perna-vermelha-comum, Ostraceiro, herons, geese and ducks are numerous. During the summer Abibe-comum breed and the surrounding trees are home to a variety of summer visitors, such as Felosa-musical, Felosa-comum and Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, especially within the Turvey Parklands, managed by Fingal County Council and Fingal Birdwatch Ireland who look after the two bird hides on site.
