Descripción
Shaped by a long history of coal mining, Fairburn Ings protects a mixture of habitats. Wetland areas created by subsidence include open water, wet grassland, reedbed and wet woodland. While other habitats, including dry grassland, deciduous woodland and lagoons, have been restored on the former coal spoil tips. Wet grassland on the reserve supports breeding waders such as Avefría Europea, Archibebe Común, Agachadiza común and Zarapito Real, and is important for breeding and wintering wildfowl - especially Ánade friso. There are islands where Charrán Común breed and reedbeds for the benefit of birds such as breeding Escribano Palustre and Avetoro Común. Also Chorlitejo Chico, Chorlitejo Grande, Martín Pescador Común, Alondra Común and Perdiz Pardilla breed in the area.
