Descrição

RSPB Arne is a patchwork of a huge array of habitats. Although the reserve is famous for it's dry and wet lowland heath you can also find ancient oak woodland, farmland, saltmarsh, reedbed, mudflats, scrub, wet woodland, acid grassland and even sandy beaches. This mix of habitats surrounded by Poole Harbour is one of the reasons the reserve is home to such a huge variety of species.

The dramatic open heathland is one of the best places to spot the Felosa-do-mato all year round, and is one of the most important sites in the UK for them. The reserve also makes up part of the territory of a pair of reintroduced Águia-rabalva, which are seen very often from the reserve.

In summer, the reserve is a hunting ground for Águia-pesqueira breeding in Poole Harbour. In winter, the reserve is an important site for wintering and passage wading birds and waterfowl. Arne gets large flocks of waders including Alfaiate and a large number of Colhereiro.

Other rare birds you can see here include Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Tartaranhão-azulado in winter, and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis.
