Description
Dark bellied Gâscă neagră, Rață fluierătoare, Rață mică, Ciocîntors, Fluierar cu picioare roșii and Fugaci de țărm flock to Farlington Marshes in their thousands, creating unrivalled bird watching opportunities. The winter also sees the return of the ever popular Ciuf de câmp, which hunt over the Point Field and southern end of the main marsh.
During the spring and summer migrations, the Point Field and bushes are hotspots for warblers and other small passerines passing through. Redstarts, Muscar sur, Capîntortură, Pietrar sur and Mărăcinar mare are regularly spotted.
During the summer months Stufărică, Lăcar mic and Lăcar de stuf can be heard chattering, while Nagâț, Fluierar cu picioare roșii, Fâsă de luncă and Ciocârlie are busy out on the marsh as they settle down to breed.
