Descrição

Big Waters Nature Reserve is one of the largest bodies of open water in the region. A lake habitat for wildfowl with some woodland and open fields. Some reedbeds. Wintering wildfowl, particularly Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum, Ganso-comum, also Pato-olho-d'ouro, Pato-trombeteiro, Zarro-comum, Zarro-negrinha and Merganso-grande. The feeding station at the west end attracts chapim-montês, Pardal-montez, Lugre, and Escrevedeira-amarela as well as other commoner species. A drake Piadeira-americana has been present every winter since late 2020 (commuting at times to nearby Milkhope, so not continuously present).
