Descrição
Dark bellied Ganso-de-faces-negras, Piadeira, Marrequinha-comum, Alfaiate, Perna-vermelha-comum and Pilrito-comum flock to Farlington Marshes in their thousands, creating unrivalled bird watching opportunities. The winter also sees the return of the ever popular Coruja-do-nabal, which hunt over the Point Field and southern end of the main marsh.
During the spring and summer migrations, the Point Field and bushes are hotspots for warblers and other small passerines passing through. Redstarts, Papa-moscas-cinzento, Torcicolo, Chasco-cinzento and Cartaxo-nortenho are regularly spotted.
During the summer months Rouxinol-bravo, Felosa-dos-juncos and rouxinol-dos-caniços can be heard chattering, while Abibe-comum, Perna-vermelha-comum, Petinha-dos-prados and Laverca are busy out on the marsh as they settle down to breed.
