Descrição

This reserve on the River Yare has a mix of wetlands, woodlands and meadows, with great birding all year round. Spring is the best time to see Rouxinol-bravo, Felosa-dos-juncos, Felosa-malhada and Cuco-canoro, as well as hearing the booming call of the resident Abetouro-comum and seeing the display flights of the Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis. During summer, you might spot a hunting Ógea or coruja-da-igreja / coruja-das-torres, and the resident Guarda-rios-comum are most active in the warmer months. In autumn, Águia-pesqueira are regular on passage and Chapim-de-bigode flock together, as do thousands of Estorninho-malhado. Winter brings peak wildfowl numbers and more Abetouro-comum from the continent, plus large flocks of Lugre and pintarroxo-pequeno, occasionally hosting a rarer finch species. The harrier roost also reaches its peak, sometimes including Tartaranhão-azulado. The reserve also has resident Chinese water deer and otters.
