Description
Saltern Wetlands gets many more birds than it did before high tide bank was breached. You can observe flocks of Vanneau huppé, Courlis cendré, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard siffleur, Chevalier gambette, Barge à queue noire and Avocette élégante. Winter guests include Chevalier arlequin. Other birds that can be seen are Tadorne de Belon, Canard souchet, Grand Gravelot and Huîtrier pie. Faucon pèlerin, Busard des roseaux and Buse variable hunt over the area at times. Two small freshwater ponds were created at the same time, between the railway line and the inland end of the tidal area, and have had Grèbe à cou noir and Petit Gravelot on them.
