Descripción
Portmore Lough is a lowland, wet-grassland reserve. The range of wetland habitats provide a home for a wide variety of wildlife. In spring, Avefría Europea can be seen displaying over the wet grassland, whilst Alondra Común sing from high overhead. Butterflies and dragonflies dart along the path to the hide. The Charrán Común colony can be heard from the lough, as the terns busy themselves raising their young on the nesting rafts. Autumn brings lots of wildfowl, Focha Común, Porrón Europeo and Porrón Moñudo ducks gather in large rafts on the lough. Raptors, including Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and Aguilucho pálido can often be seen hunting over the reedbed at this time of year. Cisne Cantor and Ánsar común arrive from Iceland in October to overwinter at the reserve until April. In late winter, huge swirling flocks of Avefría Europea and Chorlito Dorado Europeo fly over the flooded meadows.
