Descripción

Drumpellier Country Park offers a diverse mix of habitats, including woodlands, wetlands, open water, and grasslands, making it a fantastic birdwatching spot year-round. The park’s lochs and marshes attract Cisne Vulgar, Zampullín Común, Focha Común and Porrón Moñudo, while reedbeds provide a home for Carricerín Común and Escribano Palustre in spring and summer. Somormujo Lavanco can often be seen performing their courtship displays.

Woodlands around the park are alive with Pico Picapinos, Agateador Euroasiático, and Mito Común. In winter, flocks of Zorzal Alirrojo and Zorzal Real arrive, while the occasional Busardo ratonero or Gavilán Común can be spotted overhead.

With scenic trails and a variety of bird species, Drumpellier is a perfect spot for both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
