Descrição

The new reedbeds, saline lagoons and wet grasslands have already attracted a wealth of wetland birds including internationally important number of overwintering Pato-trombeteiro and Arrabio with numbers of Piadeira and Marrequinha-comum rapidly approaching the same level of importance. Other wintering wildfowl include Frisada, Zarro-comum and Pato-olho-d'ouro, with the occasional Zarro-bastardo.

Abetouro-comum may be seen at the Uskmouth Reedbeds in winter along with Tartaranhão-azulado and Coruja-do-nabal. Up to 50,000 Estorninho-malhado use the reedbeds to roost in winter.

The scrub around the reedbeds has Rouxinol-bravo which are resident all year, a recent survey revealed around 70 singing males! Also rouxinol-dos-caniços and Felosa-dos-juncos in summer along with a few Felosa-malhada in the reedbeds through the summer. A good number of papa-amoras-cinzento are found around the hedgerows during the summer and are joined passage Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca, Rabirruivo-preto, Cartaxo-nortenho and flycatchers during the spring an autumn.
