Descrição

Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is a dynamic stretch of unspoilt coastline running southwards from the edge of Skegness to the mouth of the Wash. Covering 1,100 acres of pristine coastline and recognised as an area of international importance. The reserve extends about three miles along the Lincolnshire coast from Skegness to the entrance of the Wash. Sandy and muddy seashore, sand dunes, salt marsh and freshwater marsh with ponds and lagoons are home to a rich assemblage of coastal wildflowers and many birds. The Visitor Centre includes a cafe and gift shop.

In spring, the first of the migrants stop off to refuel or establish territories. In summer, Andorinha-do-mar-anã may be seen fishing in the shallows and Laverca are in full song above the purple haze of the salt marshes. In autumn, huge whirling flocks of waders can be seen on the high tides. And in winter, wildfowl include Ganso-de-faces-negras, Pato-branco, Piadeira and Marrequinha-comum, with birds of prey including Tartaranhão-azulado, Esmerilhão and owls. Visible migration can be impressive during spring and autumn.
