Beskrivning
This spot is located 30 km north of Porto on the northern riverside of Ave estuary, where on low tide some mudflats become accessible for birds to forage. There is a nearby dock where gulls congregate. There (and looking from there to the southern river side), it's possible to spot medelhavstrut (all year around) but it particularly pays off to keep and eye on gulls during winter since it's possible to find silltrut, skrattmås, svarthuvad mås, fiskmås and havstrut. On the mudflats it's easy to spot roskarl and drillsnäppa. During migration the mudflats serve as a stopover site for waders and it's possible to spot storspov, myrspov and rödspov. On the trees and garden spaces its possible to find koltrast, rödhake, steglits, svarthätta, talgoxe, gulhämpling and tofslärka, to name just a few.
