Descrição
You arrive at an open area looking out to sea and to the rocky shoreline if the tide is out. At low tide large numbers of gulls and waders can be seen roosting whilst large numbers of birds can be seen on the sea.
During the winter large numbers of Scoters can be seen. Mainly Pato-preto and Pato-fusco. Other species often seen are Pato-de-cauda-afilada, Eider-edredão, Piadeira, Mobêlha-pequena, and Mergulhão-de-pescoço-castanho. Rarities on the sea at this time of the year include negrola-d'asa-branca-americana, Stejneger's Scoter, Pato-careto, Eider-real, Torda-anã and Mobêlha-árctica. On the coastline a large full roost can occur predominantly consisting of Gaivota-parda, Gaivota-argêntea, Guincho-comum and Alcatraz-comum with the occasional wintering gaivota-da-asa-escura, Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta and Gaivota-polar. Wader species often seen include Pilrito-comum, Perna-vermelha-comum, Maçarico-real, Rola-do-mar, Ostraceiro and Fuselo. Rarer gulls and waders seen on the shoreline have been Gaivota de Delaware and Seixoeira.
During spring and summer months lots of new birds can be seen including Andorinha-do-mar-árctica, Andorinha-do-mar-comum, Garajau-comum and the occasional Andorinha-do-mar-rósea, Arau-comum, Torda-mergulheira and Papagaio-do-mar.
Autumn migration brings passage seabirds and waders with the chance of all four skua species, Pardela-sombria and divers. Scarcer waders that could be seen are Maçarico-de-bico-direito and Perna-verde-comum.
This site gives a nice variety of species from a single point and gives you a great chance to learn the identifications of British shorebirds.
