Also groups of Gaivota-de-cabeça-preta can be seen here. Among the other birds you can encounter here are Pilrito-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Perna-vermelha-comum, Maçarico-galego, Maçarico-real, Perna-verde-comum, Tarambola-cinzenta, Fuselo, Narceja-galega, Garça-branca-pequena, Petinha-ribeirinha and Escrevedeira-das-neves.
Detalhes
Acesso
There are numerous walks around the estuary including two circular walks. Please follow way marked routes as some paths are permissive and exist only through the goodwill of the landowning community. One walk of 5 km is shown on the map below.
Note: The Gannel is tidal and a dangerous place to swim or wade, in order to walk right around the estuary you will need to avoid high tide. There are two foot bridges, at Trennance the bridge is covered for about an hour either side of the high tide whereas the Penpol bridge is covered for about 2 1/2 hours either side of high tides.
