Teifi Marshes

Wales  >  United Kingdom

One of the best wetland sites in Wales, with over wintering birds including thousands of Star coming in to roost, but all year round good birding.

Beschreibung

Teifi Marshes reserve is situated on the floor of the wide pre-glacial channel left by the former course of the Teifi and now occupied by the river Piliau, which meanders through the marshes in a narrow but deceptively deep cut. A range of habitats is supported, from open pasture and well wooded hedgerows, through Alder and Willow carr, freshwater marsh with open pools and reedbeds to tidal mudbanks. Flooding is extensive in winter, when the area attracts large numbers of wildfowl, notably Krickente, Pfeifente and Stockente. Wasserralle are present in winter in considerable numbers, and other regular winter visitors include Bekassine, Großer Brachvogel and Kiebitz. Wanderfalke hunt over the marshes. Breedings birds include Brandgans, Teichrohrsänger, Schilfrohrsänger, Dorngrasmücke, Klappergrasmücke and Seidensänger. Herons also breed nearby. You may be very lucky and see a Rohrdommel. Check out the “Creek” and “Kingfisher” Hides for ducks, Eisvogel and Seidensänger , the “Curlew” Hide for Graureiher, Großer Brachvogel and larger gulls. The “Heron or Pentwd” Hide is good for Krickente, Pfeifente, Waldwasserläufer, Rotschenkel and has a good view over the whole marsh.

Zugang

Parking is available in the Visitor Centre car park on the southern side of the reserve (SN186448). Follow the signs out of Cardigan towards Cilgerran. On entering the village a left turn gives access to the Teifi Marshes Reserve along the old railway line. Look out for Sika Deer in the fields on the right. There is also pedestrian or cycle access from Cardigan along the riverside path from the Old Cardigan Bridge. The Visitor Information Centre on the reserve has a gift-shop and café. There is a circular walk around the marshes (the Otter Trail) with 6 hides. The Otter Trail takes about 1 ½ hours to walk, heading from the Centre / car park along the old railway line.
