Descrição
Cliffe Pools is a series of former gravel pits. Lots of flat paths around the pools - some exposed, some with scrubby bushes surrounding them (packed with common garden birds). Also large expanses of grassland - good for flocks of Abibe-comum , plus hunting Coruja-do-nabal and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis . Many resident waterbirds, including many grebes, Alfaiate , Guarda-rios-comum , many other ducks and waders. In winter wader and duck numbers build up on the pools and lagoons, with impressive high-tide roosts of up to 7,000 Pilrito-comum, 2,000 Abibe-comum, amongst other species such as Perna-vermelha-comum and Tarambola-cinzenta. Wet winters can see up to 3,000 dabbling ducks (teals, wigeons, shovelers, mallards, gadwalls and pintails) mainly on the northern pools.
Walks along the estuary mean lots more can be seen on the tidal mud - plus some interesting features of old/abandoned forts, and a working gravel/sand extraction site.
