Descripción
Colne Point is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and famous for breeding Charrancito Común, a very important species all over the country. Any breeding site is important and The Essex Wildlife Trust do all they can to protect this site in the Charrancito Común nesting season.
Also the marshes can be the hunting grounds for wintering raptors such as, Halcón Peregrino, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Aguilucho pálido, Búho Campestre and Esmerejón, all taking advantage of the large numbers of over wintering ducks, geese and waders.
The site overlooks the mouth of the Colne Estuary and the usual shoreline species such as Tarro Blanco, Aguja Colinegra, Aguja Colipinta, Archibebe Común, Ostrero Euroasiático, Serreta Mediana, Barnacla Carinegra and Silbón Europeo can be seen. Also divers and grebes can be seen off shore in the winter months.
In the breeding season Charrancito Común will hopefully return to there shingle beach along side other species, Charrán Común Chorlitejo Grande and Chorlitejo Chico. Other breeding birds include Ostrero Euroasiático and Archibebe Común.
Over the winter finches and other small passerines can be found in good numbers. for example Pardillo Común, Alondra Común, Pardillo Piquigualdo, Gorrión Alpino and even the chance of Alondra Cornuda.
This is a very important nature reserve and does have visiting restrictions , but would be well worth the time taken to arrange a visit to this very special area of the country.
