Descrição
Shaped by a long history of coal mining, Fairburn Ings protects a mixture of habitats. Wetland areas created by subsidence include open water, wet grassland, reedbed and wet woodland. While other habitats, including dry grassland, deciduous woodland and lagoons, have been restored on the former coal spoil tips. Wet grassland on the reserve supports breeding waders such as Abibe-comum, Perna-vermelha-comum, Narceja-comum and Maçarico-real, and is important for breeding and wintering wildfowl - especially Frisada. There are islands where Andorinha-do-mar-comum breed and reedbeds for the benefit of birds such as breeding Escrevedeira-dos-caniços and Abetouro-comum. Also Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Guarda-rios-comum, Laverca and Perdiz-cinzenta breed in the area.
