Descrição
Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project is a landmark conservation and engineering scheme for the 21st century, on a scale never before attempted in the UK and the largest of its type in Europe. The aim of this project is to combat the threats from climate change and coastal flooding by recreating the ancient wetland landscape of mudflats and saltmarsh, lagoons and pasture. It will also help to compensate for the loss of such tidal habitats elsewhere in England. Wallasea Island sits within an SPA which covers the Crouch and Roach estuaries and which is special for overwintering waders and wildfowl including Ganso-de-faces-negras. The habitat creation has now been completed with the final phase creating a series of shallowly flooded saline lagoons in the southern part of the island to attract over wintering waders and wildfowl and in the summer nesting birds such as Alfaiate, Borrelho-pequeno-de-coleira and maybe even Pernilongo. Other birds you can encounter are Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Coruja-do-nabal, Marrequinha-comum, Piadeira, Andorinha-do-mar-comum, Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Perna-vermelha-comum, Ostraceiro, Maçarico-real, Tarambola-cinzenta, Pilrito-comum and Colhereiro.
