Descrição
The northern footpath out towards the Mersey walks you mostly through agricultural land. Large numbers of Faisão can sometimes be seen, as well as Perdiz-comum both presumably released gamebirds, though the native Perdiz-cinzenta is also seen here. In winter, Tentilhão-montês is occasionally seen, as well as the more common finches and hedgerow birds.
The path alongside the Mersey adds good views of estuary, mudflat and some reedbeds. Waders of various sorts are seen, particularly in winter, when very large counts can occur particularly of Pilrito-comum (sometimes 10,000+) and Maçarico-de-bico-direito (often 1,000+) and Borrelho-grande-de-coleira (often hundreds), as well as Ganso-de-bico-curto. Herons and egrets are likely, occasionally Garca-vaqueira. A telescope can be useful to pick out birds on the mud in the centre of the channel or far shore.
The western path out to the shore goes through woodland where Gaio-comum, Pombo-bravo and Tordo-ruivo-comum might be found.
